# App Processing Requests Slowly

## Cause

If your app is processing requests slowly, it's possible that it is receiving more requests than it can efficiently handle at its current scale (due to hitting maxes with [CPU](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/scaling/cpu-isolation.md) or [Memory](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/scaling/memory-limits.md)).

## Resolution

First, consider deploying an [Application Performance Monitoring](https://www.aptible.com/docs/how-to-guides/observability-guides/setup-application-performance-monitoring.md) solution in your App in order to get a better understanding of why it's running slow.

Then, if needed, see [Scaling](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/scaling/overview.md) for instructions on how to resize your App [Containers](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/architecture/containers/overview.md).
