Google App EngineでCronジョブ！

Google App Engineに動きがありましたね。(Google App EngineでJavaが使えるようになったというニュース)

Java使いではないので、正直ピンときませんが、同じ記事の中にこんなくだりが...

The team has also been working on many other improvements to App Engine, which we're really excited to launch to you as well:

* Access to firewalled data: grant policy-controlled access to your data behind the firewall.
* Cron support: schedule tasks like report generation or DB clean-up at an interval of your choosing.
* Database import: move GBs of data easily into your App Engine app. Matching export capabilities are coming soon, hopefully within a month.

おお、ついにGAEでcronが使えるようになった！

無料なのに、すんごい太っ腹。さすがです。
