How does Spring Boot behave during DNS resolution delays in microservices?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
DNS delays cause connection setup latency and request slowdowns.
Deep explanation
Every HTTP or DB connection may require DNS resolution. If DNS servers are slow or unreachable, connection establishment blocks threads, increasing latency. Spring itself is unaware; the delay happens at OS networking layer.
