Worker process does not scale beyond thousands of tasks

How to detect:
Luigi workers execute all tasks within the same process without distribution, causing performance degradation when running thousands of tasks simultaneously. The architecture does not provide automatic scalability.
Recommended action:
Monitor task counts approaching thousands. Consider: 1) Redesigning workflows to reduce concurrent task count, 2) Partitioning large workflows across multiple independent Luigi instances, 3) Evaluating alternative orchestration platforms for very large-scale workloads.
