The beat schedule is set to once per minute for each of the three
environment provisioning tasks.
Adding a beat schedule surfaced two problems that are addressed here
with the following changes:
- Commit the SQLALchemy session in order to release the environment
lock. Otherwise the change to the `claimed_until` field is not
persisted.
- Set `none_as_null` on the JSOB fields on the `Environment`. This
avoids problems with querying on Postgres JSON fields that are empty.
This also adds a small change to the development command for the Celery
worker. Multiple child processes were executing the beat jobs, which
lead to exceptions for environment locks and confusing log output. This
contrains the dev command to a single Celery worker.
Celery provides a more robust set of queueing options for both tasks and
worker processes. Updates include:
- infrastructure necessary to run Celery, including celery entrypoint
- backgrounded functions are now imported directly from atst.jobs
- update tests as-needed
- update kubernetes worker pod command
