Laravel on Google App Engine Standard vs Flexible

I am deploying a Laravel app (content management system) on GCP App Engine but I am not sure what are the advantages or disadvantages of standard vs flexible environment and how it would impact a Laravel application. The application will not have many users but will require to read the database and show outputs etc. Could someone please highlight differences and provide suggestions.

This question was answered on Server Fault but the gist of it is that I settled for standard environment because of low usage as standard environment can wind down to 0 instances thereby tremendously reducing costs.
