GAE can't support more then a handful of plugins

10,000 files is the inherit deploy limitation of the AppEngine sandbox, I'm afraid you will find no resolve here. By the way, it is unlikely this limit will be lifted anytime soon if ever.

Most devs run into this problem because non-production code is being deployed with the rest of the application. This starter project is not configured to skip these. Below is the skip_files section of my app.yaml configurations that includes excludes for.git, node_modules and bower_components - those being the main offenders. Use it as a starting point if you like; be sure to add any other rules specific to your project structure.

skip_files:
- ^(.*/)?\.zip$
- ^(.*/)?\.bat$
- ^(.*/)?\.sh$
- ^(.*/)?\.md$
- ^(.*/)?app\.yaml
- ^(.*/)?app\.yml
- ^(.*/)?#.*#
- ^(.*/)?.*~
- ^(.*/)?.*\.py[co]
- ^(.*/)?.*/RCS/.*
- ^(.*/)?\..*
- ^(.*/)?tests$
- ^(.*/)?test$
- ^(.*/)grunt\.js
- ^(.*/)node_modules/(.*/)?
- ^(.*/)bower_components/(.*/)?
- ^scripts/(.*/)?
- ^test/(.*/)?
- ^README\..*
- \.gitignore
- ^\.git/.*
- \.*\.lint$
- ^fabfile\.py
- ^testrunner\.py

If you are certain that your application requires over 10,000 files in production, the only Google alternative is a container.
