Does putting a runBlocking in a ktor route block the web server from receiving more requests?

runBlocking {
            delay(500)
    }

It depends on how many requests are being handled. Your server should have a certain number of threads available to it.

You should definitely avoid anything blocking without deferring it to a special thread pool instead
