Amazon SWF to schedule task
There is no delay option when scheduling an activity. The solution is to schedule a timer with delay based on activity execution count and when the timer fires schedule an activity execution.
I am using python boto library to implement SWF.
We are simulating a workflow where we want to execute same task 10 times in a workflow. After the 10th time, the workflow will be marked complete.
The problem is, we want to specify an interval for execution which varies based on the execution count. For example: 5 minutes for 1st execution, 10 minutes for 2nd execution, and so on.
How do I schedule a task by specifying time to execute?
