As described in the blue 'Note' in the documentation <https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/connect-app-engine>, your instance type is PostgreSQL and connections from App Engine to PostgreSQL are not currently supported in the App Engine Standard environment.
Our engineering team is aware of this <https://issuetracker.google.com/35897413> and are currently working on supporting this. You may actually have luck if you are making connections from the new Java 8 App Engine standard runtime <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/runtime-java8>. - Since Google Groups is meant for general product discussions and not for technical support or for reporting issues or feature requests, it is recommended in the future to report Google-end issues and feature requests to the Public Issue Tracker <https://cloud.google.com/support/docs/issue-trackers> and to seek technical support on Stack Overflow <https://cloud.google.com/support/docs/stackexchange> using the supported Cloud tags. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
