Make App Engine Node.js Standard Environment the default #322

Closed mdempsky closed 5 years ago

mdempsky commented 5 years ago

According to the App Engine Node.js Standard Environment release notes, the Node.js 8 runtime was released as GA on Dec 12, 2018. Is there any reason to still prefer the Flexible Environment by default?

https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/the-appengine-environments compares the two. The key feature that seems appealing about Standard Environment for a starter kit is that it supports scaling to zero, so apps with no traffic shouldn't cost anything.

Even if the default remains Flexible, at least the "(Beta)" marker should be dropped from the Polymer documentation.

Notably prpl-server only documents how to use the Standard Environment:

Thanks! The documentation should probably be updated to reflect the changed default: https://pwa-starter-kit.polymer-project.org/building-and-deploying/#app-engine

@mdempsky Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder.
