+# Quickstart for Node.js in the App Engine flexible environment
+
+This is the sample application for the
+[Quickstart for Node.js in the App Engine flexible environment][tutorial]
+tutorial found in the [Google App Engine Node.js flexible environment][appengine]
+documentation.
+
+* [Setup](#setup)
+* [Running locally](#running-locally)
+* [Deploying to App Engine](#deploying-to-app-engine)
+* [Running the tests](#running-the-tests)
+
+## Setup
+
+Before you can run or deploy the sample, you need to do the following:
+
+1.  Refer to the [appengine/README.md][readme] file for instructions on
+    running and deploying.
+1.  Install dependencies:
+
+        npm install
+
+## Running locally
+
+    npm start
+
+## Deploying to App Engine
+
+    gcloud app deploy
+
+## Running the tests

+# Node.js Google Cloud Storage sample for Google App Engine
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/)
+on [Google App Engine flexible environment](https://cloud.google.com/appengine).
+
+## Setup
+
+Before you can run or deploy the sample, you will need to do the following:
+
+1. Enable the Cloud Storage API in the [Google Developers Console](https://console.developers.google.com/project/_/apiui/apiview/storage/overview).
+
+1. Create a Cloud Storage Bucket. You can do this with the [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk)
+with the following command:
+
+        gsutil mb gs://<your-bucket-name>
+
+1. Set the default ACL on your bucket to public read in order to serve files
+directly from Cloud Storage. You can do this with the [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk)
+with the following command:
+
+        gsutil defacl set public-read gs://<your-bucket-name>
+
+1. Update the environment variables in `app.yaml`.
+
+## Running locally
+
+Refer to the [top-level README](../../README.md) for instructions on running and
+deploying.
+
+When running locally, you can use the [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk)
+to provide authentication to use Google Cloud APIs:
+
+    gcloud init
+
+Then set environment variables before starting your application:
+
+    export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=<your-project-id>
+    export GCLOUD_STORAGE_BUCKET=<your-bucket-name>
+    npm install
+    npm start
