I want to write a program with celery beat, where I have a view in postgres which should hold the name of a task, cron expression and some other arguments.

I want beat to take those entries from the db, and schedule tasks based on them,
but I also want to update beat if something is changing…

can it be done with the native beat?
if I update the schedule while beat is runnig, will it work and the scheduled tasks would change accordingly?

my idea:
to schedule task to run every X seconds -> query db for changes (I can set “last changed” value)
-> update beat schedule only where there is a change.

is it possible?

What I learned by now:

I looked at other modules like redbeat and django but I wish to save my app as small as possible and preferably independent (I know that I have to have a broker but this would be implemented in AWS SQS)

I learned that I can create a custom scheduler but I think its not recommended (for compatibility reason).
