Azure WebJobs 102 - Scheduled WebJobs and the WebJobs Dashboard with Jamie Espinosa

The Discussion

• 

  Very cool!

  I've setup a separate website just to run a couple of web jobs to do some file processing that occurs on a frequent process during the day -- so I'm not concerned with the jobs affecting website performance because the website is only to serve these jobs.  The jobs process two large files and takes about 6 minutes in total to run (4 minutes for one file and 2 minutes for the other).  The question I have is, at which point is a job too large for "web jobs" and should be moved into something like a worker role? 

  Thanks,

  Thanks to Scott for keeping this episode easy to follow ("whoa, whoa... what zip file!") :)

  For developers who want to schedule node.js files, the Mobile Services Scheduler is also still an option (and probably cheaper).
