Hi, Indeed, for the moment, Node.js on App Engine Standard requires a billing account. This is because it directly uses Cloud Container Builder. But note that it has the same free tier as other Standard runtimes: Having a billing account does not mean you will have to pay for your project.
We are working to see if we can lift this requirement, but no guarantee yet.
