One of the reasons I rewrote Gaestebin in Go was to get better performance.
Python is nice, but given the AppEngine architecture, there’s probably
non-trivial overhead in spinning up new instances and since most instances
are short-lived in my case, there’s not enough time for runtime optimizations
to kick in.

Not surprisingly, the Go backend performs much better, both in terms of memory and performance.

Latency

Memory

Win!
