Is this a sane idea to setup discourse on App Engine flexible environment?

There is a community post about how to set up discourse on App Engine Flexible environment:

https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/community/blob/master/tutorials/setting-up-ruby-discourse.md

I have difficulty to deploy it, it fails to connect to postgres/redis and the whole instance/version is removed, so there is no easy way to debug.

Is this a sane idea to setup discourse on App Engine flexible environment? Or there are fundamental problems?

If it is not Docker based install, you are gonna have a bad time™

It all depends on how much familiarity you have with the environment into which you are deploying, and how much support you can get from whoever wrote that guide. It seems unlikely that you’ll be able to get much help here on the nuances of such a configuration.
