Re: [google-appengine] Kill back end instance when not in use - php module

[Alex Martelli]

You can configure the "backend" module with *basic scaling* and an idle_timeout as short as you wish -- for all details, see https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/php/modules . Basic scaling means that the instance is started when the module receives a request, the request can run indefinitely, and the instance is evicted when it has been idle for over idle_timeout (the default is 5 minutes) -- seems a pretty good fit for your use case.

Hey guys, so i have a module that is used as the back end and it is constantly running eating up my backend instance hours.

I only need it to start at 12:30 am every day and then shutdown when the task queue is empty.

The tasks currently take 1-2 min and there aren't too many of them so it will be done by 1-2 am. 

There must be a way to achieve this dynamically?

I would settle for stop at this time and start at this time if it isn't possible to be more intricate.

Thanks in advance guys,
