Seeing a degradation in request latency

Hey there, I'm seeing my endpoints take 2-4x the time. I'm still in the early phase of my project without any users yet, but I wanted to shout it out in case there is an issue.

Hello! May I ask whether your app is proxied by Cloudflare?

Btw, I can confirm my service is doing well. Here are my slowest endpoints:

My /me endpoint used to take 10-30ms roundtrip and now it is taking 250-350ms and is sometimes stalling up to a few seconds.

Is this anecdotal or from monitoring?

Are you based around or near London? If not, then you are being incorrectly routed to our edge.

Please could you run a traceroute or MTR (preferably) to 69.46.46.46?

This is anecdotal, but I'm seeing the same behavior in different devices. I'm based in Chicago

I am based near Chicago and I am having similar issues.

when I switch over to mobile data on my phone it is fast again, so could it be an issue with my wifi? It wasn't like this before.


14 days ago

Not with wifi specifically, but with your network/ISP. If you send me a traceroute, I’ll be able to engineer the Internet traffic via BGP so that you hit the correct POP.


14 days ago

I know we have issues with Google Fiber at the moment - is that your ISP?


odicho
HOBBYOP

14 days ago

No that's actually my mobile data provider which things are working well with.

I sent the traceroute above btw and also sent mtr results via DMs

Edit: Sorry meant Google Fi, they're different so nvm.

My provider is RCN / Astound

Thank you. Will work on this soon get back to you within the hour or so.

okay tysm! It's not urgent for me, but it might be a broader issue worth looking into. I'll check in again after about an hour!

We’re currently shifting traffic onto our new edge network which contains different peering arrangements / upstream ISPs worldwide, so we’re still in the process of working out some teething issues with certain ISPs!

Experiencing the same issue

Ok, so this is actually a bit harder to engineer/fix. For some reason, your ISP Astound AS6079 has a PNI (network interconnect) with Liberty Global in Chicago. Liberty Global is primarily a European based transit network, and we only announce routes to them in Europe. The issue is, Liberty Global is a pretty bad network and doesn't let us apply traffic engineering policies to routes we announce to them - but we need to use them to reach major ISPs in Europe.

I'm slightly confused why Astound directly upstreams to Liberty Global - it's only useful for reaching European eyeball networks. I'm going to have to contact them directly to fix this.

Sorry for the wall of text - just trying to give context on why I can't fix this immediately.

We're experiencing extreme latency for at least the last hour and a half from all users on many different ISPs hundreds and/or thousands of miles apart.

It looks like a ton of other people are having this issue and noticing a slowness in request time. I definitely think this should be put on the status page and let customers know what there's a degradation.

Hey folks, we're investigating this right now and will update the status page very soon. Apologies for the wait!

Noticing latency on my apps as well. Def should be on the status page.

It has become worse in recent days - we're on US East and we're seeing it impact users globally.

Thank you for all the detail so far folks. If you're still seeing slowness, two quick things would let us confirm you're on the affected path:

NOTE: this is a public thread, please OMIT your domain if you do not want to share it publicly

  1. Open https://YOUR-APP-DOMAIN/.railway/cdn-trace in your browser and paste just the output here (it shows which edge you're routed through, e.g. pop=lax1)
  2. Your rough location (city or region is plenty).

Optional but useful: a traceroute/MTR, or a timed request so we can see where the delay is:

curl -w "TTFB:%{time_starttransfer}s total:%{time_total}s\n" -o /dev/null -s https://YOUR-APP-DOMAIN/


13 days ago

That URL just hits my own service, resulting in a 403.

(We do not have CDN enabled - I suspect that's why.)

Hi @amanuel, unfortunately Astound has not yet responded - but we have depeered with Liberty Global, globally. Please let me know if you're hitting a closer POP now 🙂

Did you get all of the other ISPs resolved?

We've seen improvement on US East since June 4th 17:00 UTC, so whatever changed around then was the likely the culprit for us.
