-# Node.js Google Cloud Tasks sample for Google App Engine
+Samples for the [Google Cloud Tasks API Node.js Client][client]
+have moved to [github.com/googleapis/nodejs-tasks/tree/master/samples/][samples].
 
-This sample application shows how to use [Google Cloud Tasks](https://cloud.google.com/cloud-tasks/)
-on Google App Engine Node.js [standard environment][appengine-std] and [flexible environment][appengine-flex].
-
-App Engine queues push tasks to an App Engine HTTP target. This directory
-contains both the App Engine app to deploy, as well as the snippets to run
-locally to push tasks to it, which could also be called on App Engine.
-
-`createTask.js` is a simple command-line program to create tasks to be pushed to
-the App Engine app.
-
-`server.js` is the main App Engine app. This app serves as an endpoint to
-receive App Engine task attempts.
-
-`app.standard.yaml` configures the app for App Engine Node.js standard
-environment.
-
-`app.flexible.yaml` configures the app for App Engine Node.js flexible
-environment.
-
-* [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.  Enable the Cloud Tasks API in the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/tasks.googleapis.com).
-1.  Install dependencies:
-
-    With `npm`:
-
-        npm install
-
-    or with `yarn`:
-
-        yarn install
-
-## Creating a queue
-
-To create a queue using the Cloud SDK, use the following gcloud command:
-
-    gcloud beta tasks queues create-app-engine-queue my-appengine-queue
-
-Note: A newly created queue will route to the default App Engine service and
-version unless configured to do otherwise. Read the online help for the
-`create-app-engine-queue` or the `update-app-engine-queue` commands to learn
-about routing overrides for App Engine queues.
-
-## Deploying the app to App Engine standard environment
-
-Deploy the App Engine app with gcloud:
-
-    gcloud app deploy app.standard.yaml
-
-Verify the index page is serving:
-
-    gcloud app browse
-
-The App Engine app serves as a target for the push requests. It has an
-endpoint `/log_payload` that reads the payload (i.e., the request body) of the
-HTTP POST request and logs it. The log output can be viewed with:
-
-    gcloud app logs read
-
-## Deploying the app to App Engine flexible environment
-
-Deploy the App Engine app with gcloud:
-
-    gcloud app deploy app.flexible.yaml
-
-Verify the index page is serving:
-
-    gcloud app browse
-
-The App Engine app serves as a target for the push requests. It has an
-endpoint `/log_payload` that reads the payload (i.e., the request body) of the
-HTTP POST request and logs it. The log output can be viewed with:
-
-    gcloud app logs read
-
-## Running the Samples
-
-Set environment variables:
-
-First, your project ID:
-
-```
-export PROJECT_ID=my-project-id
-```
-
-Then the queue ID, as specified at queue creation time. Queue IDs already
-created can be listed with `gcloud beta tasks queues list`.
-
-```
-export QUEUE_ID=my-appengine-queue
-```
-
-And finally the location ID, which can be discovered with
-`gcloud beta tasks queues describe $QUEUE_ID`, with the location embedded in
-the "name" value (for instance, if the name is
-"projects/my-project/locations/us-central1/queues/my-appengine-queue", then the
-location is "us-central1").
-
-```
-export LOCATION_ID=us-central1
-```
-
-Create a task, targeted at the `log_payload` endpoint, with a payload specified:
-
-```
-node createTask.js --project=$PROJECT_ID --queue=$QUEUE_ID --location=$LOCATION_ID --payload=hello
-```
-
-Now view that the payload was received and verify the payload:
-
-```
-gcloud app logs read
-```
-
-Create a task that will be scheduled for a time in the future using the
-`--in_seconds` flag:
-
-```
-node createTask.js --project=$PROJECT_ID --queue=$QUEUE_ID --location=$LOCATION_ID --payload=hello --in_seconds=30
-```
-
-
-To get usage information: `node createTask.js --help`
-
-Which prints:
-
-```
-Options:
-  --version        Show version number                                                                         [boolean]
-  --location, -l   Location of the queue to add the task to.                                         [string] [required]
-  --queue, -q      ID (short name) of the queue to add the task to.                                  [string] [required]
-  --project, -p    Project of the queue to add the task to.                                          [string] [required]
-  --payload, -d    (Optional) Payload to attach to the push queue.                                              [string]
-  --inSeconds, -s  (Optional) The number of seconds from now to schedule task attempt.                          [number]
-  --help           Show help                                                                                   [boolean]
-
-Examples:
-  node createTask.js --project my-project-id
