End User Goal

Allow a user to run a question of any size without it timing out.

Overview

Cloud Run is limiting our ability to run questions that take longer than an hour and/or require more powerful hardware. It also locks us into a set of frustrating problems.

Creating a Kueue service backend will:

• Queue questions instead of dropping them if the service is overwhelmed
• Allow us to run questions that take any amount of time (specifically opening us up to runs > 1 hour)
• Access hardware we can't currently access (e.g. GPUs)
• Access arbitrarily provisioned hardware (CPU, memory, storage etc.)
• Stop pointless question reruns by allowing us to control when we acknowledge question events
• Cancel running questions
• Monitor running questions individually
• Run questions on providers other than Google (i.e. on any Kubernetes cluster)
