What's the advantage of running the API in google app engine as opposed to a google cloud VM instance that you can just SSH into? Setting up letsencrypt on a VM instance is 10x easier than this (and in my experience everything else you need to do is 10x easier).

For a lot of smaller projects, running google app engine is 10x easier (and cheaper) then worry about a VM.
