Hi Aloo,

Is there a specific reason that the Channel API (
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/channel/ ) doesn't work
for your use case?

If you can't use the Channel API there are multiple other solutions out
there. Since you cited price as a concern, the cheapest solution would
probably be to get an external machine (a Compute Engine VM or similar) and
run a simple SocketIO server to push out messages:

If you have some extra spending money, you can try out Firebase (
https://www.firebase.com/pricing.html ) which has a nice API for pushing
out messages. It's a bit pricey though, so make sure you read through the
pricing and overview pages.
