Hi everyone! I'm working on hobby project where I would like to schedules tasks based on user-defined event information.
For example, if a user event (like a lunch) is scheduled for the day after tomorrow and half of the users have not responded to the invitation (today), the system would automatically send a notification email in order to remind them to answer the invitation. Additionally, the user should be able to define the reminder / notification logic that the system implements: (1) the number of reminders, (2) the number of days / hour in advance, (3) the recipients of the notification are some the parameters the user should be able to configure. I've looked to Task Queues and Cron (both for GAE Java) as solutions to this problem. However, Task Queues and Cron don't seem to address the problem directly: (1) Task Queues run immediately and (2) Cron requires regularity which is not the case with user-defined events. Do you have any suggestion / best-practice to implement a solution to the problem described above?
