Performance - Response times

[cupcakearmy]

Issue

So the issue is that the api takes really long time to respond to even the simplest requests. I can range from ~150ms in the best cases to even almost a whole second. Basically this makes directus impossible to use in server side rendering. Is there any way to speed up calls? I have not found anything about it in the docs.

Model

The model is really simple. It is a sorted model with just 2 text fields. So nothing complicated

Pics (~700ms & ~200ms)

Versions

Pulled the latest image before creating the issue

• directus/directus:v8-apache
• mysql:5.7
• Apache/2.4.38 (Debian) PHP/7.3.14

Do you have cache enabled?

Also, we're caching everything on top of it with cloudflare.

I've enabled it, not it takes "only" ~130ms. There is not way to get that faster I guess then.
