I have two App Engine projects in Go that comprise a single user-facing app. One project is a Standard Environment project and has the bulk of the functionality and also serves the React frontend static bundle. The second project is a Flexible Environment project and serves a specific purpose of communicating with and transferring large files to a third-party API (it is a Flexible Environment project b/c we ran into size limitations using urlfetch).
Now that I am deploying the app, I am running into a problem with api requests from the frontend. In development, our frontend node server would proxy requests, e.g. /api/project and /api/user to the appropriate App Engine services running on different ports, but in production, my standard environment project is at something like https://my-project-std.appspot.com, and the flexible env project is at something like https://my-project-flex.appspot.com.
I use a dispatch.yaml file with the std env project to route api requests (e.g. /api/project and /api/user) to the appropriate service, but am not sure the best way to route requests that should go to the flexible environment service (e.g. /api/model). Should I route them through the std env project and redirect? setup a reverse proxy? some other approach?
Thanks!
