Intermittent extreme slowdowns

I'm experiencing inconsistent performance with my Django application deployed on Railway. The app alternates between running at normal speed and suddenly becoming extremely slow with 30+ second delays before getting any response from the server.

I do not know when this started, which is not helpful from my end..

The logs do not indicate anything, and this also seems to happen randomly, not even on pages where I could be having problems because N+1 queries.

Can you see anything on your end, or have there been any slowdowns in the EU metal region?

Hey there!
I see nothing indicating issues on our EU metal region or any other at this moment. Could you talk a bit about what this service does? Are you ensuring that you use private networking for all cross process communication?
Is it depending on an external API?

It is just a little django project with very few users and little traffic. It is a Django Backend behind a caddy reverse proxy, using postgres as a database. All of my services talk using the internal network and the reverse proxy is the only service that can be accessed from the outside. I use a tailscale service to connect to the postgres database from my own computer, and have not experienced any problems there.

No, it does not depend on external APIs.

It might have been caused by a major update on gunicorn from 23.0.0 to 24.1.1 that I did 2 days ago, but as I am not sure when this started it is hard to state that with confidence.

I am going to roll back to 23.0.0 and then I am going to monitor the service for the next days.

Thanks for the response.
