I have tried to move some stuff from PHP to Python (using Flask for example - I don't want to imagine the performance of Django) and the difference in performance is pathetic. Especially given the reputation of both languages. Python is still easier so if you can throw money at AWS it is a better option.

Were you maybe using Python on AWS Lambdas? That would be relatively slow, since it takes away the advantage Python/Flask would have vs PHP...that it's already warm.

  In PHP 7.4 PHP can be configured to precache (typically framework) files. Thus with mod_php (as opposed to FPM), Apache and the Zend engine are already warm.
