Hi,

I'm running a Node app on App Engine flexible environment. The app is very flaky and many requests are now failing. I've looked into the logs and it seems the 2 instances that the app has are being started every ~30 seconds.

I've enabled the Updated Health Checks, so I'm wondering if this could be the issue. However, either the /readiness_check and the /liveness_check seem to be getting a 200 response.

As you can see, the "app_updater" logs something every 30 seconds (see pictures below).

Anyone has any ideas of what could be going wrong?

Thanks in advance
