Use GCP Batch or Cloud Run Jobs for Runs?

[seandavi]

Google Cloud has a couple of batch processing environments:

• GCP Batch
• Cloud Run Jobs

Is anyone working on a Dagster integration for running jobs using either of these services, akin to the DockerRunLauncher?

I have set up a "GCP-native" Dagster deployment which:

• uses Cloud Run (services) for gRPC code location servers
• uses Cloud Run Jobs as run workers

So far it's working very well. If there is some interest I could look into open-sourcing it.

Perfect! PR #21509 is closed. I received an invitation from @timchap to contribute to his PR. I've copied my existing Example and pushed it to his repo. I should have more time later this week to adapt my original example to the new launcher.

@timchap, I think we could add both of our approaches for the gRPC code location servers in the Cloud Run Launcher Example:

• One example using a simple VM (like mine)
• One example using Cloud Run Services (like what you mentioned)

This would showcase two different options for running Dagster on GCP. Let me know what you think!

Hey folks, can assure you the PR has not been ignored. Please check the latest reply here: #21864 (comment)

Work on the GCP Cloud Runner has been migrated to our community-integrations repo: dagster-io/community-integrations#26

[garethbrickman]

The GCP Cloud Runner is now available in its community-integrations repo: dagster-contrib-gcp

And can be installed by running:

pip install dagster_contrib_gcp
