Hi @opsb ,
I’m the Product Manager responsible for the Forge runtime, which includes the problem you’ve flagged here.
I suspect what you are are seeing is geographic latency because you’re in Europe but Forge apps are deployed in US West. Even when you are running Forge locally using the forge tunnel command, a central broker service sits between the browser and your Forge function to route the request to your local machine (and that service is in US West).
This problem can be further exacerbated if your app is also making REST API calls back to Atlassian product APIs and the Atlassian product is pinned to a different region.
We are planning to make some improvements to how Forge apps are deployed later in 2023. By supporting multi-region deployments, you’ll be able to have the end user, the Forge app and the Atlassian product DB all in the same region.
Thanks for the feedback!
