I believe there were issues with DO spaces because of rate limiting, can you try another object store just to eliminate that?

Have there been any reported issues with Linode? Going to give them a shot

not that I can recall, but your mileage may vary

I've been deploying a couple of stacks with several hundred resources using a self-managed S3 backend and it goes through pretty quickly. I'd suggest yes perhaps DO as the bottleneck. Good question re how to measure that though.

To follow up here, it looks like linode works well; so agree that DO is the bottleneck. Might be worth adding something to the documentation noting that perhaps?
