Could not find gdal-config

Question

I am using the Google App Engine to deploy a Flask app with Python GDAL Bindings. I've been mostly following this thread. I feel like I'm getting close but I'm running into an error where the build can't find gdal-config. I'm not sure where this is supposed to be/how it's supposed to be found. The whole error is lengthy, but here it is:

    Could not find gdal-config. Make sure you have installed the GDAL native library and development headers.

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.
The command '/bin/sh -c pip install -r /app/requirements.txt' returned a non-zero code: 1

In order to deploy the app I am running

gcloud app deploy

from a folder containing my app.yaml, main.py, requirements.txt, and Dockerfile. My app.yaml, requirements.txt, and Dockerfile can be found here: https://github.com/isodrosotherm/gcloud_gdal

I found this [community answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/61407404/12857703) saying that this could be an issue with gdal itself and offers a few links to follow and a solution that dockerizes it with all the steps needed to bypass this issue, and finally try to deploy it to GAE Flex. Let me know if this helps. — Ralemos, Jul 22 '20 at 14:14
