Problem deploying app using gcloud app engine

This is my error when I ran gcloud app deploy:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi Olli,

Am on the same boat, you can refer:


It has more details that you can try, if not already.

Hope it might work for you!!

If it does, please share steps :slight_smile:

Hi Amit,

thanks. I tried these, and also increased the ‘app_start_timeout_sec’ to the max (3600), still got the timeout error.

Deployed the same model on Render and it works like a charm, first try. Would still be interested what is wrong in the gcloud.

For me at least it turned out to be a disk space issue, solved by increasing the requested disk space in the app.yaml file, like this:

resources:
disk_size_gb: 12

12 GB seems to do the trick.
