Hi Team,
Our application is deployed in google cloud and the back end instances are tomcat servers. Now our load balancer is returning 502 errors with status details “backend-timeout” for some requests and it is impacting our production in a huge way. The instances are healthy when the error occurs and google cloud configurations seem to be fine. The server version is apache-tomcat-8.0.30 and the operating system is Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS. I am not sure whether we need to consider any tomcat specific settings or parameters for scaling in GCP and to fix this issue. Any help on this is highly appreciated. Thanks, Abin
