@Ayushimidha28 You can create a custom nodejs enviroment on App Engine. You will need to create a Dockerfile for it.

Something like this:

# Dockerfile extending the generic Node image with application files for a
# single application.
FROM gcr.io/google_appengine/nodejs
COPY . /app/

RUN apt update && apt install -y --no-install-recommends sox

# You have to specify "--unsafe-perm" with npm install
# when running as root.  Failing to do this can cause
# install to appear to succeed even if a preinstall
# script fails, and may have other adverse consequences
# as well.
# This command will also cat the npm-debug.log file after the
# build, if it exists.
RUN npm install --unsafe-perm || \
  ((if [ -f npm-debug.log ]; then \
  cat npm-debug.log; \
  fi) && false)
CMD npm start

And set these in the app.yaml:

env: flex
runtime: custom
