Nichole, Our Task Queue API will take care of distributing your background tasks across separate application instances: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/taskqueue/overview.html
It sounds like what you are describing is the ability to increase your ability to parallelize long running tasks. A typical pattern for this would be to lazy when possible in your job execution: when the first queue comes in, chop it up into several other tasks and push them back into the queue. Repeat as necessary. On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 4:03 AM, Nichole <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, Thanks for use of the app engine!
