将 Meteor 部署到 Google App Engine 2017

Question

So I am trying to deploy a simple meteor app to Google App Engine. I've tried following this tutorial https://cloud.google.com/community/tutorials/run-meteor-on-google-app-engine But it resulted in error: Can't find npm module 'meteor-deque'. Did you forget to call 'Npm.depends' in package.js within the 'meteor' package? error: Can't find npm module 'meteor-deque'. Did you forget to call 'Npm.depends' in package.js within the 'meteor' package? Googling resulted in a few more tutorials but via their comments it seems they are outdate as well. There is also this one https://medium.com/google-cloud/meteor-google-a-devops-post-b8a17f889f84 However this is about deploying to the compute engine, so this is a plan B. So I wander if any of you successfully deployed Meteor to GAE recently in 2017 with Meteor 1.4? Can you please share details?
