Hi can anyone confirm whether it's possible to use *Headless Chrome* in *golang* in App Engine Standard? -----------------------------
More info: Currently I have a go server that talks to Headless Chrome via the debug-protocol api (the same api the puppeteer library in node.js uses). I'm sure I can get this working on GCE/GKE but a managed service like app engine (or cloud functions or cloud run) would be ideal. This app engine doc page for node [1] says: The App Engine Standard Environment comes with all of the system package needed to run Headless Chrome". The system packages look the same across nodejs [2] and go [3], so I'm hoping this is already possible just not documented anywhere. Can anyone confirm this is possible? Follow-up question: is chrome already installed? or do I need to download and install it inside of app engine standard? "npm install puppeteer" downloads the chrome binary so perhaps that's why it works on nodejs app engine. Thanks in advance! Mike.
