Streamlit Docker app runs very slowly

Spaces
1

Hi,

I have a Docker Streamlit app that runs perfectly fine/fast locally or on AWS Fargate but runs very slowly on a Hugging Face space (CPU UPGRADE). The build is successful and all pages work fine, it is just very slow!

The app reads a small data sample from an AWS S3 bucket located in Australia so I do expect additional region latency once deployed on Hugging Face, but not as much as the 10x that I’m observing…

This is a private space so cannot link to the codebase but below is the Dockerfile:
