A have a scenario where I have to send customized alerts to large amount of users (~30k) in certain, specified beforehand, time. My main idea was to make a cron job, which would check every minute if there is an alert to send and if so mark this alert as queued and add task to task queue (this would be done in transactional manner). Now I have two available approaches: Approach I: Have two different queue commands: 1. Split email list into smaller chunks (I'm not sure how big, I was thinking about ~500) and for each of them put second command on queue. (this one will be queued in cron job) 2. Send mail for each email address in the list. My main concern with this approach is lack of control on how many emails will be send simultaneously and possibility that my email will be classified as spam.
Approach II: Just one task: 1. Send emails for predetermined number of people (again ~500) starting from start_index add to queue the same task with start_index + ~500. This approach will be slower, so is less preferable. I have pretty much unlimited quota so that wouldn't be a problem. Which approach is better in this situation? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
