## AI overview

This article explains that Django signals can be unreliable because of their underlying transport. It presents an alternative transport implementation using background tasks to make signals more reliable and safer for mission-critical workflows.

## Source excerpt

However, the underlying transport for signals makes them unreliable and subject to unexpected failures.In this article, I present an alternative transport implementation for Django signals using background tasks which makes them reliable and safer to use in mission critical workflows.
