A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hey Everyone, I'm reposting this to the proper channel.

*Expected*
I'm attempting to have my _Ktor_ app's *main* method run automatically once deployed to AppEngine, similar to how a _Jars_ *main* method runs when uploaded to AppEngine.

*Actual*
Currently the Ktor application's main method is only called when the app's hosted route is called: _https://[yourProjectName].appspot.com_.

In the applications's *main* method is logic to retrieve content from an API request based on a *Timer* and save that information to a Firestore database which a client consumes. The goal is to have this task running continuously.

Thanks for the help! :slightly_smiling_face:
