Docker setup very slow on digital ocean droplet

[ethanitovitch]

Hi all,
I setup cookiecutter-django using docker.
I then deployed the app on a digital ocean droplet.
Here are the current specs of the machine: 2 GB Memory / 2 Intel vCPUs / 90 GB Disk / SFO3 - Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS) x64

I've deployed many apps on droplets with the same specs that ran much faster without docker so thinking that's the issue.
Also I've stripped the docker compose file so that it's just traffik, redis & django.

Any ideas what might be going wrong? The site has 0 traffic.

Also please let me know how I can provide more info I know this is extremely vague.

Thanks!

Is the droplet running out of resources, or are your requests slow for another reason? Did you look at htop or another monitor?

We used managed postgreql on digital ocean.
It was in the same region as our droplet.

Docker shoudn't be the problem. Can you share your Django settings and requirement.txt? It may be a middleware or some other package.

hmm but now we're deployed on a digital ocean app without docker and it's a lot faster

Guessing it's some connection with database, maybe sentry?
