Does Cloud SQL Postgres have any cron-like tool?

问题

I would like to use Cloud SQL with PostgreSQL with an internal cron-like tool. In the extensions list I can't find anything like that.

Do you know any solution/alternative which wouldn't include having an extra Compute Engine instance from where we can make calls ?

回答1:

You can't run cron internally in Cloud SQL as it is fully managed and you only get the access to the database itself.

Workaround

If you need to run this inserts and selects each minute then you can use Google's Task queues to send a request to an App Engine service that will do all that.

cron:
    - description: "make some select/insert"
      url: /tasks/populate
      schedule: every 1 mins
      target: populate_postgres

You have 28 free instance hours a day to use with App Engine instances.
