Experience slow responses from railway

Hi everyone,

We’ve been experiencing quite a bit of latency from the Amsterdam region — around 250 ms even for a simple /health check.

Is this expected on the Hobby plan, or could there be something else going on (routing, cold starts, regional load, etc.)?

Would love to know if others are seeing similar performance or if there are recommended optimizations. Thanks!

not seeing huge latency here especially for the region you're hitting. could you open a new thread with these results and a link to your service?

similarly not seeing any abnormal latency on our end, the 50~60ms comes from transit to railway from your isp/internet exchanges. could you open a new thread with these results and your service?

I think it's related to this:
https://station.railway.com/questions/slow-requests-0cedf8d6

It's also regarding database operations and the ams region.

If y'all can make your own threads that'd be appreciated! Best way to track them all
