I have a bunch of files at Cloud Storage that I need to parse and insert into Cloud SQL once per day. The operation takes about an hour on a n1-standard-2 instance, and then ~10mins to insert the data into Cloud SQL.
My idea of design to solve this problem with GAE is: 1. Define a scheduled task in GAE, it does a HTTP request to a URL 2. Create a URL handler that can respond to the HTTP req mentioned above in GAE, it’s main task would be to boot a GCE instance 3. The GCE instance would be based on a template where it does a few things automatically at boot: 1. Download the file from Cloud Storage 2. Parses it 3. Inserts the data into Cloud SQL 4. Shuts down Would this be the best design to solve the problem? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
