I am getting the 524 Timeout error

Hello Im using app platform with a blitz js prisma postgresql project and I’m getting a 524 error timeout error with cloudfare. The Cpu usage spikes to 100% on the app. It shows that cloudflare is working but Host is not. What does that mean and need ideas on the 524 solution?

Hi there,

Since you mentioned that CPU usage spikes to 100%, it’s a clear indicator that your server is overloaded. How much CPY does your App Platform component have?

You might need to upgrade the component to give it a bit more CPU power in order to be able to handle the traffic/load that you are getting.

Also, check your application logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate the root cause of the high CPU usage.

Feel free to share more information about your app and I can give you some tips on what you could do to optimize it.
