Does anyone know the equivalent of lambda without the 15 mins restriction. Firecracker would fit the bill if it didn't have the bare metal requirements.
I think ECS is a better fit if you require GPU or you can do with not scaling to zero. Obviously once Fargate catches up and polishes its kinks it would stand on its own but given the way Cognito is, I have very little faith that things will improve quickly (theres an open ticket in cognito that is over 3 years old).
if you dont use containers in lambda, its super fast unless you start using C#/Java
You can trigger it from an s3 upload, for example.
60 minutes for HTTP functions.
10 minutes for event-driven functions.
Not sure why you would need 60 minutes for HTTP invoked functions, that alone should be a signal to offload it to another queue or asynchronous process.
I've used GCP / AppEngine for about a decade now. Built one biz that did $80m gross in its first year. Never even a small threat of being shut down. Recently had a billing issue with GCP and after explaining the problem, they credited me far more than I was even asking for.
I currently have 20k+ servers hitting Cloud Functions (golang) and Cloud SQL 24/7, which is a constant 50 requests/sec... costing me about $100 a month total. It was easy to set up, documentation is well written with clear examples, deployments are all through CI on Github. It just works.
Sorry, but I'm a fan.
To answer your question... https://cloud.google.com/tasks/docs/creating-http-target-tas...
Like I said we did it this way to avoid adding a proper queue and worker pool to this app so not recommended for heavy traffic but it works
Disclaimer I work for Google on Cloud Run.
Yet at the same time, HN loves to hate on GCP. Keep up the good work @yegle.
You can run short-lived jobs in a container in any container orchestration system or even straight up Docker.
unless you're ok to build your own docker images, then fargate already mentioned should be good
