Hey Rafael,

It's definitely possible to create worker processes in Python. In regular 
App Engine apps, you can use the background_thread 
<https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/refdocs/google.appengine.api.background_thread.background_thread>
 API, 
and in Flexible Environment python apps 
<https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/python/runtime>, you can 
simply use the python threading 
<https://docs.python.org/2/library/threading.html#module-threading> or 
subprocess <https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html> library, 
etc. While I'm not an expert or even very proficient with Firebase by any 
means, a quick look in their documentation 
<https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/api/query/on.html> reveals that it 
should be possible to watch for changes without worker threads, and only 
fire notifications when a change actually does occur.  

As for task queues, you might want to check out App Engine Task Queues.

Let me know if you have any further questions,

Sincerely,

Nick
