There is a lot of stuff going on under the hood of this API, it's basically a public facade to our internal API, it's a basic KTOR server that does http requests to our internal apis and maps the responses back. Also the internal API routes do a lot of database work to get the data. I'm not so much concerned with throughput. Just trying to understand, why, if the server is not IO/Memory/CPU bound is it slowing down? As a side note we are running the internal API using dropwizard and the issue doesn't seem to be there, given the fact that if I put up more proxy apis I get more throughput from the internal Api's
