I would say that Google App Engine MIGHT solve some of your problems, but you will instead get more problems. App Engine is a good solution, but still is a big black box of functionality.
I think you would be better suited with a solution like Elastic Beanstalk from AWS (there probably is an equivalent version in Google Cloud as well). What you need to make sure is that your app is stateless (no local saved items, media and so on) and that the database is on another machine. Then you can scale both horizontally (add more cheap machines) and vertically (add more CPU power and memory). I run an online store that does this automatically. All that happens is that I get an email saying that 2 more machines were provisioned or shut off. We always have 2 small machines running - and the system scales up when needed.
