I think a bit more information would be needed.

What language/frameworks are you using for your api?

Do you have any instrumentation on your servers to see what is causing the issues?

It could be as easy as a missing index or something different.

Let me know if you want to chat.

Read the Phoenix Project, the DevOps Handbook, and the Google SRE book.

Or just hire an SRE. You’re gonna have to eventually anyway.
