I need to create a node.js service that is supposed to run a large number (potentially hundreds) of scheduled jobs simultaneously. This service should also expose a REST interface to allow end users to perform CRUD on these jobs. At first I thought of going for agenda.js and since we use k8s, launching a few instances so we could deal with this amount of jobs. However, I also thought of another idea and wanted to see if somebody already done if - since we use k8s, I thought of harnessing the power of k8s jobs and create a service that will communicate with k8s api and manage the jobs.

Is it feasible? What things do I have to take into consideration if i'm going in this direction?

CodePudding user response：

what you want is basically the definition of kubernetes operator, and yes, it is possible to do what you want.

in your case, you can use the kubernetes client for nodejs
