As per this Caching Application Data <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/nodejs/caching-application-data> article, the flexible environment provides a standard memcached service. It enables access by setting the environment variables you've mentioned.
I was able to set and get values from memcache by following the guide on the provided link. It was not necessary to spin up my own servers. Judging from the error, I presume you've already installed the memcached client library with npm install --save memcached. - Do you have any standard environment runtime that can successfully access memcache? - Do you get the same error if you redeploy this Nodejs module? - If so, do you also get the same address and port from the env variables? - Does the error occur with new Memcached() or when attempting to get/set ?
