Can I create a function that runs a very long time (~12hours)?
I have a function which imports a huge data dump into my database. I am using self-hosted appwrite, so it is easily possible for me to do it without creating an appwrite function (just running it as task on my server). If it's possible, I'd still like to run it as function because of the UI triggering convience. Is it recommendable to do such a long task as function or will it always get terminated?
TL;DR
Developers are questioning if it's feasible to run a function that takes approximately 12 hours to complete. The function involves downloading a 20GB file and utilizing about 100MB of RAM. They are using a self-hosted appwrite for this task and are unsure if running it as a function is reliable or if it will be terminated prematurely. Other factors that could be limiting:
- The function would download a file of 20GB
- will take about 100MB RAM
