Re:Ask HN: How would you queue and process 10K+ long running... by lfx on Tuesday November 27, 2018 @02:07PM (#18545563)
It would be easily done by AWS SQS you can put as many elements to queue as you want (some limits apply, but may be easily lifted) and then remove items from the queue when the job is done, by tunning invisibility time-out you make work by your requirements. You can use lambdas (too short for your case) or ec2 or Fargate as your workes and it may scale up or down depending on loads. What is cool that you can create multiple shards if you could predict how long jobs would take so some could be done in lambda other using ec2 thus reducing costs.

Thanks for your insight. This is currently close to what we have in production for one of our systems and we are building a brand new system that shares a lot of the same requirements, just fishing to make sure we aren't missing anything :]
