Why do I see this?

One of your API endpoints is experiencing increased latency.

What does this mean?

This rule looks at the past 2 days of API latency and checks if there has been a significant increase (more than 20%) during the last 24 hours.

How do I fix API Gateway high latency?

If changes in latency appear, check if new versions of the client or API code have been deployed in that time period. If no new deployments happened, or you can’t tell, check the content of the sent requests in that time period.


This rule resolution is part of the Dashbird Serverless Well Architected Reports tool for AWS. Dashbird features a collection of rules and checks continuously applied to your infrastructure, surfacing ways to improve it.
