Heavy pipeline tasks (ingest, translate, render, rerender) now dispatch
to a Cloud Run Job (va-worker) instead of local Celery workers. optical-dev
runs only api + lightweight worker (notify/embed) within its 2-CPU budget.
- backend/app/tasks/runner.py — Cloud Run Job entrypoint
- backend/app/services/cloud_run_dispatch.py — replaces .delay() for heavy tasks
- backend/Dockerfile.cloudrun — Cloud Run worker image (ffmpeg included)
- docker-compose.optical-dev.yml — 2-CPU safe overrides, disables heavy workers
- cloudbuild.yaml — builds va-worker image and updates Cloud Run Job
- deploy-dev.sh — uses 3-file compose, builds only api+worker locally
- routes_jobs, routes_admin_production, ingest_and_ai, translate_and_synthesize
— all dispatch sites updated to use cloud_run_dispatch.dispatch()
USE_CELERY_FALLBACK=true in .env.local to use Celery locally during dev.
