This is odd, I can't seem to find any "failed_to_pick_backend" error logs for that timeframe, even on expanded search. Do you have an exact timestamp of a sample error?
I also found this Google Groups <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-appengine/c-2wMh2i5ak> and StackOverflow <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41305122/some-502-errors-in-gcp-http-load-balancing> case that may provide solution to your issue. It discusses the possibility of either a database connection or a Load Balancer issue, among others. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
