Deploy 2 containers to Google App Engine Flexible Environment Docker

Question

I have a web app running packed in Docker and running in Google App Engine Flexible Environment.

Now I have a worker which also is packed in Docker, this one doesn't have any HTTP listeners.

Is it possible to run both containers in the same Google App Engine app?

Answer 1

In Google App Engine, currently there is no functionality to compose two or more docker images as a single application, like Docker compose or pods in Kubernetes.

I recommend having a look at This question and answer .

Basically the only option is multi-process container (using a startup script that starts both of your services).
