Hey Yon, App Engine instances are scaled in zones within the region the application is created in <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/console/#create>. If you'd like to follow a pattern which others have made use of, you can deploy another project in the EU to handle traffic there. As you point out, an HTTP Load Balancer is a very useful in this situation, and you can use Container Engine <https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/> to deploy Docker images of your applications, using Custom Runtimes <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/custom-runtimes/>.
I hope this has helped answer your question. Let me know if you have any further questions, and I'll be happy to assist.
