Questions about the recent launch of standard environment for NodeJs

[Brian Oh]

I am coming from the flexible environment and I believe much of us have the same issue with the price of running in flexible environment.

I am wondering if this issue is on my end or is that related to some in-mature features in App Engine Standard Environment for NodeJs and I understand it is still in Beta Version.

1. Networking ports aren really able to be set by us. 
2. We cannot connect to our other instances for example in compute engine via our private Ip-address used within Google Cloud Platform. (For example connection with other databases servers)

In addition to point 2, I am actually trying to connect up my mongodb server running in Compute Engine. In flexible environment, all the while I am connecting using the internal IP address across Google Cloud Platform. However the moment I switch it into standard environment, it does not work. The weird thing is even I did change into public Ip-address, it does not work too. 

Please advise if anyone of you does faces the same issue as I did too. 

Thank You so much for the help in advance.

Hey Brian!

You can set the port using process.env.PORT as shown here . Regarding being able to connect to GCE instances in standard and other feature requests, will be addressed through the issue tracker which is the best platform for bugs and feature requests.
