An instance in Serverless App Engine (SAE) is the minimum running unit for an application. An SAE instance type determines the number of vCPUs and the size of memory that you can consume. Each instance type corresponds to a specific network baseline bandwidth and packet forwarding rate measured in packets per second (PPS). We recommend that you select Instance type 1 that has 0.5 CPU cores and 1 GiB of memory in a test environment. In a production environment, you can select an instance type that provides higher specifications.
The SAE instance types that you can select is related to the type of the deployed application. The information displayed in the console prevails.
