This claim is specifically related to blocking webserver in python vs concurrent webservers in go. I assumed this is common knowledge, that scaling python webservers is a complicated thing, while in go you get a concurrent web server in standard library,

Were you deploying using a Python webserver (e.g. SimpleHTTPServer), or was it nginx routed to an app server?

And this is the trouble with the OP imo. While its true, I find it an unfair comparison to make.

How about comparing a blocking server in Go versus the same in Python, then an async server in Python vs the concurrent Go server? That would be a more apt comparison.
