In my case, I’m using the free plan.
I don’t feel like I’m running out of CPU when I check my memory or metrics. (275 MB/1 GB)
App deploys on Tyoko and I’m accessing from Seoul cuz FLY.IO doesn’t currently support the Seoul region right now.
Sometimes when I access the website without caching, it feels very slow.
But I don’t know if it’s because of the resources of my machine or the region.
Do you know of any ways to make the website faster?
There are so many variables it is hard to say what is causing it to be slow.
But from a similar question earlier, the first thing I’d do is make sure Fly isn’t turning all your machine(s) off and starting a new one for a request. That will add X ms overhead of a cold-start (kind of). Check out this part of the docs and at least for now, turn that off:
If requests are now consistent, solved
If not … clearly that was not the issue and it’s somewhere else …
Sounds like it’s not CPU/RAM, based on your metrics.
It can be networking, especially as you mention a long distance.
But it’s usually the database. There are commercial tools with free trials for profiling. Perhaps New Relic? Datadog? You want to see e.g how long a database query takes, how many queries are being done, are those queries all using an index etc.
