Question

A team wants one workload for a always-on web UI and a nightly ETL that loads GIS parcels. How should those concerns be separated?

Accepted Answer

Use a Deployment for the web UI and a CronJob (or Job) for the nightly ETL — A storefront that stays open all day is not the same as the nightly inventory truck. Keep the UI on a Deployment; let a CronJob handle the once-a-night ETL so schedules and failure modes stay clean.

Answer

Put both processes as containers in one Deployment Pod so they share a schedule

Answer

Run the ETL as a second container with restartPolicy Always inside the web Deployment

Answer

Use only a CronJob for both, leaving the web UI down between ETL runs
