Is it possible for a running task to get its own ID?

[zmarffy]

I have a Postgres database as my backend. I would like to write the progress of the current task to the database (just a string that periodically updates "where the task is" in its function code). To do so, I would think I would need to write to the database result backend said string. But to do so I would need my task ID (and this goes without saying that the backend's set_result function would do an update, not an insert, and make a middleware to do the initial insert, which is fine). Is there a way to get the task's own ID so I can do this, or am I designing this awkwardly wrong?

Yes. I have used Context to do so. Whether or not what I described is a good idea is still up for debate though.

This is the exact solution to this problem. Thanks for posting it here.
