One-off tasks

For these, we're using Flask commands, which live in /app/commands.py.

This includes things that might be one-time operations! Using a command allows the operation to be tested, both with pytest and with trial runs.

To run a command on cloud.gov, use this format:

cf run-task CLOUD-GOV-APP --commmand "YOUR COMMAND HERE" --name YOUR-COMMAND

Celery scheduled tasks

make run-celery-beat
