Netlify function can't resolve api fetch pending state and times out

My sites url: https://www.getmelo.io/

Hey, Felix here! I deployed my code to Netlify with a Heroku Postgres DB, but get really slow response time from a very simple subscription form only checking with .findUnique if the email is there and after .create it with the prisma client. From localhost to prod DB it only takes 1-2s, but from Netlify it takes about 10s to write the mail to the database. Where can be the bottleneck?

I did further research and found that Netlify can’t resolve the api fetch and is staying in “pending” state for 10s until it times out, but giving the correct database response and inserts the data.

I’m using @prisma/client@~2.19.0 with prisma@~2.19.0 and nexus-plugin-prisma@~0.33.0 The inserting logic is

        <ButtonGetStarted         
          onClick={() => {
            setLoading(true);
            setError(false);
            setSubscriptionSuccessful(false);
            createSubscriber({ 
              email, 
            }).then((result) => {
              if (result.data?.createSubscriber?.email) {
                setLoading(false);
                setSubscriptionSuccessful(true);
              } else {
                setLoading(false);
                setError(true);
                console.log(result);
              }
            });
          }}
        >

together with:

    t.nullable.field("createSubscriber", {
      type: "Subscriber",
      args: {
        email: nonNull(stringArg()),
      },
      resolve: async (_, args) => {
        const alreadySubscribed = await prisma.subscriber.findUnique({
          where: {
            email: args.email,
          },
        });

        if (alreadySubscribed) return null;
        
        return await prisma.subscriber.create({
          data: {
            email: args.email
          },
        });
      },
    });
