@Hawk: I don't know much about Ktor (or your application), but these symptoms sound like thread-pool exhaustion (ie: all your Jetty/Netty/Whatever threads are "busy" waiting for an answer by your backend API, new calls are queued/dropped as it just can't accept more). Everything looks like it's sleeping because it literally is just waiting to be able to do other stuff
