title: Can I use Goroutines in Google App Engine (Standard Environment)?
body: <p>The following example seems to work, but is it safe to use? My goal is to do some very light background processing (whereas an actual task queue job feels too heavy).</p>
  
  <pre><code>func MyHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
  
    go func() {
      // do something ...
    }() 
  
    return // 200
  }
  </code></pre>
