> sub 100ms response times are normal

That sounds incredibly slow for something that responds on a websocket, but you never told us what you're doing besides db transactions (which should be 1ms unless you're on spinning rust)



thats the full end to end request comes in, parses input, performs db calls, processes a response packet and sends data out


Thanks for clarifying. I still think 100ms is excessively slow unless you're doing something like realtime video encoding. A dozen postgres writes only take a couple of ms and that should be the bottleneck, not stuff like parsing. If you have 2 data centers in the US, network latency to the user only adds 10 to 50 ms
