Hey folks!
So I’ve been using Docker for a LAMP application being deployed on Google Container Engine. So far on the production server, everything is super fast and an absolute joy, but Docker running on my local device (Docker for Mac) has been suffering from absolutely brutally slow database connections.
If I spin up a Dockerized version of MySQL, and run it as another service on my local machine, communication between the web server and the DB are very quick. The problem comes when I put the MySQL server on another machine. Even though the other machine is feet away from me, on the same network, I’m getting a penalty of somewhere around 50-100%, where requests that only take about 2-3 seconds when the DB is running on my local machine, skyrocket up to 20-30 seconds, in some cases more.
I have been banging my head against this problem for a few days and have not been able to make any headway.
