Hi,

there is not that much I can do to help you right now.

It is important that you get an insight into the system. There are several things you can do:

  1. Analyze the app logs. In the app dashboard there is a button to download a log file with requests being made. You can important that into excel or use the CLI (Automation Tools (CLI) | Squidex) to get a first understanding of the requests being made. Perhaps you have a loop in your client or a bot goes crazy on your website.
  2. Analyze the normal logs. Use a log file analyzer. Not sure what tools exists out there, but I would just create a free elastic account and import the logs to an index. Every log line is one json document. Then you can query the logs and create charts using kibana.
  3. Use a tool like datadog for application performance monitoring (APM): https://www.datadoghq.com/. Squidex supports the open telemetry protocol, you get a lot of insights about slow operations, that can help to narrow down the problem.
  4. Use a profiler to analyze the performance, I really like this one: https://www.jetbrains.com/. You don’t have to understand the Squidex internals, just keep it running for a while and send me the report.

We can have a chat on Monday, but you have to do your homework first, otherwise I cannot really help.
