Is it expected that AppEngine Standard performs significantly slower than 
Cloud Run when a connection to Cloud SQL (Postgres) is involved?

Testing whether to move away from AWS and which GCP solution to move to and 
have fired up instances of Cloud Run and AppEngine to test a NestJS API.
Having added logging to isolate just the time taken to query the DB as part 
of an API call, the same GET request that takes 400ms query time on average 
in Cloud Run takes 2100ms in AppEngine.
To clarify this is the same source, same build deployed to both and these 
are the times once warm so I'm excluding the first few requests.

For any code not talking to my Cloud SQL instance, i.e. a dummy javascript 
method to chew up some CPU time, the performance is more or less identical

Cloud SQL, AppEngine and Cloud Run are all set up in the same region 
(australia-southeast1), and connection from GAE and Cloud Run to Cloud SQL 
is for both via Private IP and Serverless VPC.

Since I'm in free tier whilst trialing my options, I tried chat support and 
basically got down to (verbatim) "cloud run is design to handle data from 
apis with cloud sql" while "app engine is recommended for webhosting".

I'm assuming this is wrong and and a 3-5x slower query performance to Cloud 
SQL from GAE isn't an expectation? Any pointers in terms of where this may 
be failing?
I haven't yet tried via Public IP and wasn't keen to but I will likely 
repeat my tests on both to see if that makes any difference and post my 
updates here.
