Hi team - we recently moved our backend service to Render, and all of its clients took a latency hit (~3x).
Our backend service used to be on AWS us-west-1, our DB is on AWS us-west-1.
The front-end clients that we also migrated to Render saw latency regression.
A typical investigation would require looking at the latencies e2e, from the network/LB layer all the way down to the DB, but we don’t have that capability here (also, we don’t know where Render hosts our services).
There are a lot of potential variables involved here. First and foremost is that you’ve noted your database is in a region (us-west-1) different to your Render services (us-west-2). Cross-AWS-region latency would likely be part of the issue you’re seeing.
However, if we can get some more details/specific examples of the issue you are experiencing that may help us troubleshoot it with you, e.g. detailed logs/errors/output/timings, specific URLs, service ID(s), etc.
