Ask HN: How to Process Millions of SVG to PDF

2 points by theory_of_10 6y ago ↗ HN

We’re building an API in Django that’s responsible for converting millions of SVG images to PDF. The current implementation is slow where tens of thousands could take hours and I am wondering if you have experience with a low level library that could improve the performance

Depends entirely on your setup but this work seems a good fit for a job queue where you can spread the work over multiple machines and processes.

I believe celery has integrations for Django.
