Would queued tasks in general, and deferred tasks in particular, suit
you? You can set an ETA for these tasks, and GAE/J guarantees not to
fire these tasks before any ETA set.

You could use a scheduled task for a "heartbeat" of interval 1 minute,
and use this to enqueue tasks for ETAs such that you could have queued
task "heartbeats" as desired between your 1 minute scheduled task
"heartbeats".
