Thanks bro.. I tried with actuator/health/liveness as well.. 760 ms

thanks bro.. instance is always up, its not cold start and the users are consistently reporting the slowness across. Also found that its not just health or liveness api, all APIs are slow.

I am not aware this is plan specific "Railway's proxy times out differently on different requests could be a resource issue on your Railway plan too."

Hey, the curl output others suggested is a good start, but you need the full timing breakdown to pinpoint exactly where the 757ms is going:

curl -w "

namelookup: %{time_namelookup}

connect: %{time_connect}

appconnect: %{time_appconnect}

pretransfer: %{time_pretransfer}

starttransfer: %{time_starttransfer}

total: %{time_total}

" -s -o /dev/null https://your-app.railway.app/actuator/health

This tells you if the delay is in DNS → TCP → TLS → or your app itself.

A few things to check based on your situation:

Spring Boot Actuator config — /actuator/health by default aggregates ALL health indicators (DB, disk, Redis, etc). Even if liveness is slow, check if you have custom HealthIndicator beans registered. Disable them temporarily and retest.

application.properties tweak:

management.health.db.enabled=false

management.health.redis.enabled=false

Railway SEA → India latency should only be ~80-100ms. If your curl shows starttransfer is already 700ms+, the bottleneck is inside your Spring Boot app, not the network.

Check your app logs — does every request take 700ms or just the first few after idle? If there's any connection pool warmup happening, that adds latency per-request under low traffic.

Share the curl breakdown and I can help narrow it down further.

Its consistently slow..

curl -w "\nnamelookup: %{time_namelookup}\nconnect: %{time_connect}\nappconnect: %{time_appconnect}\nstarttransfer: %{time_starttransfer}\ntotal: %{time_total}\n\n" \
