SequelizeHostNotFoundError on Cloud functions

Question

I am trying to run sequelize on Google Cloud functions, and trying to connect to a remote db hosted on compose.com, but I am getting this error

`

 SequelizeHostNotFoundError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND gcp-us-east1-
cpu.2.dblayer.com gcp-us-east1-cpu.2.dblayer.com:16070
at connection.connect.err

  at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:74:11)
  at process._tickDomainCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:122:9)

`

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

I found the problem. I couldn't connect to an external API or address if I wasn't subscribed to a paid plan on Google Cloud Functions.
