If you need to perform a task but don't want to keep the user waiting, you should look into Celery. This is a Distributed Task Queue: you can start a task that a worker will execute in the backend. Your view can return immediately, being very responsive to the user. In the meanwhile the worker will perform the extra work in the background.
