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 Cloud Platform Community Support On Sunday, May 8, 2016 at 12:05:24 AM UTC-4, Rafael Ubaldo wrote: > > I want to use Firebase as my frontend and use Google App Engine on the > backend.
