A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hey there!
We are running a Ktor server application. Since yesterday it started to show some strange behaviour.
Every now and then the server would not respond to requests. The requests will simply timeout without any response from the server.
This is also true for the most basic routes, that only return some dummy text.

We are using Netty as an engine and we also have some Websockets in use.

Could it be that the websocket connections fill the Netty's connection pool and thus no new requests are accepted? If so, what can we do about this?

Or might it be something else?

Any help will be very much appreciated!
