I have seen it in many cases, especially working on financial data. My most recent example was working with real time feeds of trades, which we used ML models on top of. Inference was based on accumulated volume per fixed amount of time (say 30 sec, 1 min), and the code doing this in real time was python.

I don't remember the numbers, but caching + using ciso8601 was essential to manage the peak load (maybe 50k trades per sec ?).
