Thanks guys for some info on task queues.. I will try and outline what I am trying to do.
Producer: Produces photos. These are uploaded by the user. Once the upload is done, I would like to put up a task in the queue, to be ready for further processing Consumer: Consumes these photos and processes them. Trying to do some image transforms on the images. Picks it up from the queue, applies the transforms. Once done, let's the producer know that processing is complete. Producer: On receiving processing complete, fetches the transformed images and serves them back to the user. Since, I am new to GAE, I don't see how I would use a single app. Another reason for separating the apps ( apart from different codebase) is that the scaling required for both producer and consumer is at different level. So, no of instances required for both the producer and consumer is different. Being able to upload the images from the producer, is much more critical than being able to serve back the transformed images. But consumer needs to be scaled when there is a huge back log of transformation tasks. Thus the level of scaling required for producer and consumer is different. What would you suggest in this case? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
