They're using Tornado!

Anyone from Netflix would like to chime in on why it was chosen?

I considered writing it in Go, but my team is Python-centric. Tornado was chosen back in 2018 because it was one of the better fully featured async web frameworks. The original ConsoleMe was server-side rendered, and Tornado offered support for these types of templates.

ConsoleMe's frontend is now fully React and could be ported away from Tornado, but it'd be a pretty large effort.
