Nodejs Google App Engine Deploy Always Fails - Error Response: [4] Timed out waiting for the app infrastructure to become healthy.

[Oleksandr Oliynyk]

During last 3-5 days all builds for our app build upon nodejs flex environment failed with the error:

===

Error Response: [4] Timed out waiting for the app infrastructure to become healthy

`gcloud app deploy` is stuck at 'Updating service...' and after 15-25 minutes fails with the error.

Full error message:

Does anyone face similar problem?

Any idea how to debug/solve it or what can cause it?

Cheers,

Hello Alex, 

This is a duplicate of your posting "Google App Engine Deployment Err Debug - Error Response: [4] Timed out waiting for the app infrastructure to become healthy.". You should follow developments on the other thread. It is more effective to concentrate efforts in one place.
