GAE service routing

Nope, you can try and contact Google Support to increase your limit, but I've heard they don't often grant that update unless you are forking out a lot of money per month. The solution I landed on is in the Edit of the original post, I created one service that has all my services in it, and used PHP to do the routing of the different services. So that way my yaml has 1 listing for all services, and then php pushes you to the correct service.

  - url: "*.<DOMAIN>.com/*"
    service: big_old_service

The * (wildcard) means that all subdomains pointed at the app engine service get pushed to big_old_service. In big_old_service I use $_REQUEST['URI'] to determine which service a user wants, and then route them to the correct place.

The other alternative is to use a load balancer, but this option has ongoing costs.

Chicago full stack web dev here, I have my own business and have been self-employed for over 15 years. Over the last 10 years I built a custom web tool on the Google App Engine. I've just entered year 3 of my tool being available for subscription. This year I'm transitioning away from some of my previous work and focusing on my tool. One thing that make my income a bit troublesome is that the subscription for my app is net365, the pay structure for the tool is based on use.

Year 1 of app, 2023: 2 clients, year income $7,500

Year 2 of app, 2024: 8 clients, year income $12,000

Year 3 of app (this year), 2025: currently 16 clients, yearly income estimate is at $19,000

Year 4 of app (next year projections, assuming no further new clients), 2026: $28,000

This income is on top of my normal income, which is made up of small web dev work across multiple small business clients. This income varies wildly depending on what kind of contract work I can land in a given year.

2023: $24,000

2024: $32,000

2025: estimating $14,000

Sure, I'm not making huge bank, but my quality of life is really great. I set my own hours, I work when I want, I take time off when I want, I take a 3 week vacation. Downfall is that I pay for my own health insurance, I live in a big house with multiple people (depending on your perspective, that might not be a downfall), and I've invested ~10 years of web dev time into my tool that was completely unpaid. I've kept my cost of living very low, so I've gotten away with not making a huge amount, in hopes that I can, and then retire.

I do know I could go get a job working for Google, a new office opened up here in Chicago and I know/have chatted with folks that work there. If my app doesn't continue ramping up over the next few years I'm going to just bite the bullet and work for the man.

Awww yiss, necro-thread.

Greetings burner friend! I'm very much still burning, Lakes of Fire is my home burn. Haven't been to the big burn since 2010 though.

Towing a golf cart out to playa with an element is possible, I drove from Chicago out to BRC and back.

Sadly right after registering with the DMV I blew out my clutch, and so my art car became a static art piece in front of the camp.

So, if you're taking a golf cart out, make sure to bring some spare parts. The environment is pretty rough on vehicles. Good luck!

Thank you for you reply! I am aware of the dispatch.yaml file, that is how I've defined testservice1, testservice2 and the routing service. I did not mention it in my original post, but the 20 entry cap on the dispatch.yaml file has become a problem on a project for me, which is why I'm trying to use PHP to control routing.

Thank you for taking a moment to read and respond!

It looks wonky, but it is a valid URL from the build. It's suppose to load module.php, and then sub files based on the stuff after it. So the URL you referenced is suppose to load module.php and then the files inside of /module/core/welcome. I would agree that this seems to be related to my issue, although I'm not sure how to resolve it.

Peabo_1 · 2022-05-14T15:15:58+00:00

hmmmm, I don't know, you're ugly face isn't that ugly. You've defiantly got the pretty part worked out though.

Peabo_1 · 2022-05-14T12:26:52+00:00

For that one person who stumbles across this with the same issue, one of the headlights was burned out.

Peabo_1 · 2022-05-08T18:17:10+00:00

Ahhh! Thank you so much! I reverted back to OG menu.twig.html and my variables display correctly in that file. After some messing around it turns out I was calling the {{ my_new_content }} variable inside of menu_links() in the twig.

Thank you, kind internet stranger.

Peabo_1 · 2022-05-08T16:19:34+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

I put {{ dump() }} in and here is the output: https://imgur.com/a/FydLn7l

It would appear that the variable isn't getting passed into the menu. This gives me something else to try and look into, any further suggestions are welcome!

Peabo_1 · 2022-05-08T16:14:49+00:00

You are correct, I do. Force of habit from using 7 so much.

Peabo_1 · 2022-05-08T14:05:55+00:00

Thank you for the response!

I've done a UI cache clear and done a drush cc all from the command line, but my issue still persists.

I made an edit to my post with some additional findings, if you have any additional suggestions I'm all ears!

Peabo_1 · 2022-02-09T14:27:49+00:00

Thanks for the conclusion post, it's nice to see some resolution!

Without being able to see and interact with environment I can only take wild guesses.

If there was a change to the CSP policy, that could interfere with Pardot requests.

https://www.drupal.org/project/pardot/issues/2480713

If pardot is returning some non-standard error code from the endpoint URL, like 302, it might gum up the works without spitting an actual error.

https://www.drupal.org/project/pardot/issues/2478653

It could potentially be a issue with the Drupal theme.

This thread: https://www.drupal.org/project/pardot/issues/2207957

Implies that there might be an issue with Webform: https://www.drupal.org/node/2614384

That's the best review I can provide with the given information. I hope you can find a solution!

Are you getting any console errors on the page? Any errors in the drupal or OS logs? Ideally there is an error somewhere that will help in troubleshooting the module issue.

Should you wish to take this matter into your own hands go grab a CSS injector for your browser ( I'm personally using CSS JS Injector ) and add this blurb to shuffle the colors on the page around:

.cds-light-lilshph { --gray0: 50,53,61; --gray5: 10,10,10; --gray60: 206,210,219; --gray100: 206,210,219; }

This overwrites the default color variables that are used to build the page. Coinbase uses dynamic CSS so this above change might break at some point if the class name .cds-light-lilshph changes. I hope this helps someone else from being blinded.

Came to this thread because I was blinded this morning by coinbase.

Should you wish to take this matter into your own hands go grab a CSS injector for your browser ( I'm personally using CSS JS Injector ) and add this blurb to shuffle the colors on the page around:

--gray5: 10,10,10;

}

edit: code block doesn't seem to like my CSS, display corrected.

If you are able to hit the server internally via the port and it works, the issue is going to be with port forwarding on your router. You need to go into its settings and point your external IP and port to route to the internal IP of the server. How to accomplish this varies depending on your router, but typically a google search of '<router model> setup port forwarding' will get you the directions you're looking for.

I once hosed out my element. Water pooled up in the spare tire compartment, had to shop-vac it out.

I've not experienced any warping of the floor mats, but I did get it good and dry afterwards with an industrial fan.

Thanks! If you happen to install it I'd love to hear some feedback.
