问题
I have an app on heroku, running on Puma:
workers 2
threads_count 3
pool 5
It looks like some requests get stuck in the middleware, and it makes the app very slow (VERY!). I have seen other people threads about this problem but no solution so far.
Please let me know if you have any hint.

I work for Heroku support and Middleware/Rack/ActiveRecord::QueryCache#call is a commonly reported as a problem by New Relic. Unfortunately, it's usually a red herring as each time the source of the problem lies elsewhere.
QueryCache is where Rails first tries to check out a connection for use, so any problems with a connection will show up here as a request getting 'stuck' waiting. This doesn't mean the database server is out of connections necessarily (if you have Librato charts for Postgres they will show this). It likely means something is causing certain database connections to enter a bad state, and new requests for a connection are waiting. This can occur in older versions of Puma where multiple threads are used and the reaping_frequency is set - if some connections get into a bad state and the others are reaped this will cause problems.
Some high-level suggestions are as follows:
- Upgrade Ruby & Puma
- If using the
rack-timeoutgem, upgrade that too
These upgrades often help. If not, there are other options to look into such as switching from threads to worker based processes or using a Postgres connection pool such as PgBouncer. We have more suggestions on configuring concurrent web servers for use with Postgres here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/concurrency-and-database-connections

I will answer my own question: I simply had to check all queries to my DB. One of them was taking a VERY long time, and even if it was not requested often, it would slow down the whole server for quite some time afterwards(even after the process was done, there was a sort of "traffic jam" on the server). Solution: Check all the queries to your database, fix the slowest ones (it might simply mean breaking it down in few steps, it might mean make it run at night when there is no traffic, etc...). Once this queries are fixed, everything should go back to normal.

I recently started seeing a spike in time spent in ActiveRecord::QueryCache#call. After looking at the source, I decided to try clearing said cache using ActiveRecord::Base.connection.clear_query_cache from a Rails Console attached to the production environment. The error I got back was PG::ConnectionBad: could not fork new process for connection: Cannot allocate memory which lead me to this other SO question at least Heroku Rails could not fork new process for connection: Cannot allocate memory
