So I managed to improved the load times by enabling "serverless" in the next.js settings. This is enabled by default when deploying to ziet. I also added the /_ah/start warmup which essentially just keeps the instance alive.
All getInitialProps are just returning some basic context and I'm using GAE standard with the default server size. Still a bit baffled but it seems to be working ok now.
