I am a fullstack developer specialized in frontend technologies like reactjs. I also love programmimg in go. Currently im working on https://stormkit.io to make developers lives easier.
As far as I know, deploying an SPA app with Google App Engine is pretty straightforward. However, some of the things I've noticed:
As soon as you want to add server side rendering to your static websites things become more complicated - unless you'd like to use frameworks like gatsby. But even in this case if you have dynamic content like latest blog entries or latest products you can't use a framework like this.
You have to manage/setup your own CI/CD.
Handling different environments is more tricky, like setting up staging and production environments.
Finally, GAE is universal. You can host a lot of different applications while here the focus is only web applications. Right now, it's in alpha stage with minimal features. I am trying to gather as much feedback as possible and iterate over the software based on this input.
what does it better then using Google app engine? how is it different? or did I not understand what it is?
Very good point.

good points, but also I used it with python & flask for dynamic websites with db access, seemed pretty straightforward to me
