AFAICT the latency of any non-trivial web API is determined by the latency of DB queries, ML model queries, and suchlike. The rest is trivial in comparison, even when using slow languages like Python.
If all you need is to return rarely-changing data, especially without wasting time on authorization, you can easily approach the limits of your NIC.
