I have created a java jar executable. The project is a maven project. It is running a task every 5 minutes and using this library (https://github.com/googleapis/java-firestore) it adds some records to a firestore database. It is not a web app and it does not use any 3rd party framework. How can I run this jar on google cloud? I have seen that google cloud offers many options like App Engine or cloud run. Which solution best fits my specific case? Thank you very much!

Deploying your application to App Engine alone or Cloud Run alone might not be able to fulfill all you have planned.

App Engine Cron Service allows you to configure regularly scheduled tasks. So, you surely could set up an App Engine Cron to carry out the scheduled tasks using the sub-daily intervals scheduling to allow the job to run every 5 mins.

Additionally, you can use App Engine Cron with Cloud Functions to reliably trigger a function at a regular interval as you could use the Cloud functions for the regular writes to your Cloud Firestore
