I think with the App Engine Standard generation 2 runtimes you don't have to write to their sandbox anymore. It still has to be one of their supported languages though, instead of any arbitrary server.

Very easy to exec() into an arbitrary binary from these 2nd generation runtimes.

(and, as thesandlord notes below, arbitrary containers is the idea behind g.co/serverlesscontainers)

Disclaimer: I work on GCP.
