Generic web UI hits browser limits of six concurrent connections so a dashboard with ten visualizations stalls. The team builds a prototype using Python Celery with Redis as broker/backing store (dockerized), Django endpoints that enqueue tasks, return async ids, and a polled status endpoint. Demo runs eight concurrent queries, tasks save results to DB and a Redis cache, and the UI shows incremental tiles quickly — concept works in demo but long queries still need caching and worker scaling.
