I need to deploy few cron jobs for my nodejs app hosted on google cloud.
I have 2 options
cron.yaml provided by app engine.
I am not sure which has better performance and why ?
adding to it, I want my cron jobs to work on preemptible instance as they are meant for it, i search a lot but didn't find anything related.

Hey Himanshu,
These are two very different methods. One runs *on* the instance, using Node JS to schedule and run events. The other runs in the Cloud Platform infrastructure, sending requests to your application at given intervals, which will then trigger a request handler to run the code. You should consider your use case more and read more documentation before deciding. Perhaps I can help, if you'd like to share more details about what you want to accomplish?
Cheers,
Nick
