Google App Engine deployment example

This is rad, @NickFoden. Thank you for the example! I went ahead and added the $PORT env var to the Express starter repo already.

Was there something about the file-based route conventions that didn't work with your setup? Or did you just prefer to use config.routes in your remix.config.js?

Hey @NickFoden I know it's been a while, but I'd love to get this in our examples directory. Have you tried running with more recent versions by chance?

@chaance as expected this is way simpler today and confirmed works great when selecting the Remix App Server I may try again with express. But at moment this is very cool news.

• see the Notes.md file, I will clean up with proper bullets and formatting with the gcloud cli commands and push a commit after do some things today.

Deployed here:

• https://remix-app-server.ue.r.appspot.com/
• routing working well and hitting a 3rd party api via a fetch in the loader etc

@NickFoden It would be awesome to have a PR that adds an example to our repo.

Sure thing. Will add this week. Have few urgent items first.

Yeah exactly right @mjackson I went through the docs example with team & gist route etc, and worked great locally. When I deployed on app engine and I clicked Links to go to team would just spin and spin. In the console I could see the request "pending" for minutes and tab showing spinning until I cancelled. Hitting it directly mydomain.com/teams was also a no go with that setup. I was looking into the app engine handlers you can configure in app.yaml and tried few ways with static dir etc, but couldn't sort it. I usually deploy API's on app engine, so I am thinking another dev will have the experience to make quick work of this speedbump. I'll keep poking around and see if I can sort this.

handlers:
- url: /
  static_dir: build

handlers:
- url: /.*
  secure: always
  redirect_http_response_code: 301
  script: auto

@chaance I have not, but have been meaning to update a project. Will circle back here in near future after doing a deployment and see what is required. I think it's going to be much simpler today.

Closing the issue but feel free to add a comment here when/if you're able to get the PR in!
