Also important: each module is allowed to scale up / down seperatly, which
means you can configure the more important things to scale faster while
allowing slower scaling (and thus lower costs) on less important modules

I am developing in App Engine with Python and I understand what Modules

thing. Does splitting the code into multiple scripts not actually do
anything except make the code more organized?
You may be getting a little confused from the terminology. A Python module
( https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/modules.html ) is a file containing
Python code. As you said, splitting up your app into different files helps
with organization, code reuse, and so forth.
An App Engine module is completely different and not related to the
concept of Python modules except in the most generic way. It's true that
GAE modules help with code organization, but it's much more than that. Each
module tends to be a fully featured application or self-contained service:
for example, one module is a web site, another module implements the API,
yet another supplies the backend heavy-lifting logic, and so forth. GAE
modules also supply other benefits: logs are separated and you can specify
different instance sizes.
