Communication between robot and website over cloud

Hello, so basically I have a vehicle with a Jetson Nano running ROS2, and a web app hosted on Google App Engine. I'm trying to figure out whether it is possible to use ROS to communicate between them. I read about roslibjs and rosbridge_suite, but I couldn't find many examples and the ones I did used a local network, so I didn't understand if I can use these packages for my needs aswell. Do I run the rosbridge on the vehicle and connect the website to it somehow, or do I need to connect the vehicle and website to the NodeJS server that's in the cloud (is there a NodeJS version of rosbridge)? I also saw something called rclnodejs, is that a replacement for rosbride_suite?

If anyone can give me some more resources about these packages, or offer a different solution (if one even exists), I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
