Instagram created Cinder https://www.infoworld.com/article/3617913/instagram-open-sou... to address Python Performance.

YouTube video processing uses C++. It also uses Go and Java along with Python.

PInterest makes heavy use of Erlang for scaling.The rate-limiting system for Pinterest’s API and Ads API is written in Elixir and responds faster than its predecessor.

Takeaway: Basically you need to either build your own PythonVM/CPython fork for better Python performance or use another language for the parts that needs to scale or run fast.
