General¶

The backend as referred to in this documentation consists of a celery daemon with a redis broker. This will give CveXplore the possibility to easily create and maintain background tasks for for instance database maintenance and re-processing of updated database entries.

The use of this backend is optional and CveXplore can function perfectly without one; the tasks it performs can well be handled by another mechanism. It is, however, a nice addition to the functionalities CveXplore offers.

Task handling (CRUD actions en status updates) are handled via a separate class and can be controlled via package or CLI commands.
