I tested an HTTP endpoint that gives back json like {"user_token":null}.
But, the problem is some requests take too long (which results in 7989 timeouts…), and many warning messages in the logger.
What could be the problem?

EMFILEfromacceptmeans the process is trying to use more socket connections than it’s allowed to have filehandles.I’m not 100% certain how that translates into user-facing timeouts, but it certainly isn’t helping the system perform well.
You’ll either need to adjust the limit when starting the BEAM, or adjust the settings of
ThousandIslandto not accept as many connections.Stickersss
You were absolutely right about file descriptors! Simply increasing the hard limit for the number of open descriptors per process completely solves the issue
