App Engine expects your web apps to return almost immediately (in a matter of few ms). For anything that takes longer, you need to use task queues in App Engine. Or maybe try AppEngine Managed VM's?

App Engine requests time out after 60 seconds (that's 60000 ms).

They don't have to if you use Basic or Manual Scaling (Then they can run up to 24 hours).

If you run multiple modules at once (some serving the frontend, some for longer tasks w/task queues), you can have the best of both worlds and use different scaling options for each.
