Hi people!
These are my queue configurations.
I have configured my queues to run as slowly as possible by setting max_concurrent_requests to 1 and rate to 1/s. However, due to the bucket_size and max_burst_size settings, tasks are still being executed quickly, despite the rate limit I set.
Can I set the bucket_size to 1 to meet my requirements? Are there any potential error scenarios that could arise from making this change?
Hi @TusharAgarwal,
Welcome to Google Cloud Community!
Short answer is both YES and NO depending on what you are using. I don’t think there's any repercussions when setting it to 1 as long as it satisfies your use case. But keep in mind that we recommend using the default or higher value if you have a lot of queued tasks.
YES: Setting the bucket_size is possible for App Engine queues that were created or updated using queue.yaml.
You can also slow it down by changing the rate to either 1/m, 1/h or 1/d.
NO: If creating a queue from Console > Cloud Tasks or via Cloud Tasks API.
- Don’t have the option to manually set “Max burst size”.
Hope this clarifies your concern.
