deploy to google cloud run (or similar batch service)

since the creation and sending of the email is actually stateless (i.e. we do not need a continuous connection to the client), we can actually do 95% of this on a (much cheaper/easier) service such as google cloud run. This also works with the muggle containers, so there should be very little extra DevOps work.

we might go back to this, even for shiny, since we've now decided on BigQuery and data gravity, etc

just fyi, as of now:

google cloud run is still awesome, but stateless by design. may be hack-fixed into serving everything out of the same machine, though this would really require a lean/mean shiny app. Maybe not a great idea.
GAE flex is still >=1 instance 24/7 per container, so that's eeexpensive.

So, GCP GKE is perhaps the technically appropriate solution, but managing K8 is why we went into the public cloud to begin with.

So this is still not great.

Will just wait, maybe they'll come up with better pricing.
