We are seeing this at the median and p99 across multiple services

API Service 1 Before Image

After (this reaches less than half the load of the "before" test case) Image

API for Service 2 Before Image

After (this also reaches less than half the load of the "before" test case) Image

The only thing we see so far that might explain is that the Hikari Connection Pool (for our Postgres DB) seems higher in both cases suggesting either Postgres Driver / Hibernate / JPA may be involved potentially.

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, it isn’t actionable in its current form as it provides only minimal information about the affected services and how they’re implemented.

You’ve mentioned Postgres. Best guess at the moment is that this is similar to the performance problems mentioned in the comments on https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/44214.

@wilkinsona Thanks yeah I figured it wasn't enough but just in case other someone else pieces it all together before we do hopefully they might drop an idea here.

Thanks for the Postgres idea sadly it doesn't match our case (however it is good to know of those issues in 42.7.5 for sure) Image

No I don't believe so - I think the issue is due to another component as the issue goes away when we autoscale pods so it's some resource contention in our service

Thanks for the update. Closing.
