Client Latency with AWS Hosted Ignition and RDS Latency

I agree, the internet is a variable latency. But we also upgraded to 7.9 from 7.8 at the same time and upgraded java from 7 to version 8 as well at the same time. So those are additional variables that we had hoped (fingers crossed) would not introduce glitches. I’m just wondering if we need to expect this latency as a permanent condition, or if we can mitigate it with some BP’s that I’ve overlooked. It’s pretty bad sometimes. Doing traceroute to the server seems quite slow/many hops. Also, when watching a client connectionin the gateway status monitor, “Last Comm” is hanging out at 600-900ms. I guess these can add up.
