  2. uhh tbh i totally get the frustration of a sluggish gateway, especially when you start scaling up containers... it can get messy fast lol... im curious about your current setup tho, what kinda hardware are u running right now and whats the main bottleneck u noticed? 😅 like is it just slow speeds overall or is it dropping connections when things get busy?? also knowing what specific OS or stack u are running containers on would help me figrue out if its a routing issue or just a resource limit on teh gateway itself!!
