You can configure the "backend" module with *basic scaling* and an idle_timeout as short as you wish -- for all details, see https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/php/modules . Basic scaling means that the instance is started when the module receives a request, the request can run indefinitely, and the instance is evicted when it has been idle for over idle_timeout (the default is 5 minutes) -- seems a pretty good fit for your use case.
