Slow Query

[PaddyLock]

I am using api-guard in the normal way. When I look at the query times in the debug toolbar, the api-guard query is always tagged as slow:

select * from api_keyswherekey= '0b0c7be24c74c79c7efe7568b770749f1599cf60' andapi_keys.deleted_at is null limit 1

Time = 184.12ms

Why is the query so slow?
What can I do to speed it up?

If I run the query direct on my database then it runs very quickly.

Hi @PaddyLock, please list technical details of your installation:

• Application version/details
• Your MySQL database size
• Application environment/Server details
• MySQL database version/details

Please be very very granular in your breakdown so that someone can get context of the scenario and see whether we can reproduce your issue.

Hi @ratatatKE here are the details

"require": {
        "php": "^7.1.3",
        "barryvdh/laravel-debugbar": "^3.2",
        "chrisbjr/api-guard": "4.*",
        "darkaonline/l5-swagger": "5.7.*",
        "fideloper/proxy": "^4.0",
        "flow/jsonpath": "^0.4.0",
        "folklore/graphql": "^1.1",
        "laravel/framework": "5.7.*",
        "laravel/telescope": "^0.1.5",
        "laravel/tinker": "^1.0",
        "league/flysystem-cached-adapter": "^1.0"
    },

MySQL 5.5.53 hosted on AWS RDS db.m4.xlarge
encoding: utf8mb4
engine: innoDB
only two rows in api_keys table

Server is a Docker instance: nginx, php 7.2.

I am running the docker instance locally and connecting to the RDS database externally. All other DB connections run a lot faster. It's just the api key check that shows in the profiler as being slow.
