Hi Ragini, For measuring time in an async we have put a logger as the first and the last statement in asyncInvoke and for measuring time between the asyncs we are simply subtracting the message2's start time and message1's end time. Also, we are using 1 as the parallelism.
Please let me know if you need any other information or if you have any recommendations on improving the approach.

Yes, first async is taking between 1300-1500 milliseconds but that is called on a CompletableFuture.supplyAsync and the Async Capacity is set to 1000. Async Code Structure: Inside asyncInvoke we are calling CompletableFuture.supplyAsync and inside supplyAsync we are calling an external API which is taking around 1005ms to 1040ms. Rest of the code for request creation/response validation is also inside the supplyAsync and is taking around 250ms. This way we tried that the main Async thread(as the async does not uses multiple threads directly) is available for the next message as soon as it calls CompletableFuture.supplyAsync on the current message.

If I remember correctly until around Flink 1.10 (+/- 2 version) backpressure monitoring was checking for thread dumps stuck in requesting Flink's network memory buffers. If in your job AsyncFunction is the source of a backpressure, it would be skipped and not reported. For analysing backpressure I would highly recommend upgrading to Flink 1.13.x as it has greatly improved tooling for that [1]. And in that version AsynFunctions are definitely handled correctly. Since Flink 1.10 I believe you can use the `isBackPressured` metric. In previous versions you would have to rely on buffer usage metrics as described here [2].

Have you checked that? Isn't it taking a couple of seconds?

While developing a Flink application We observed that our message is taking around 10 seconds between the two Async operators. Below are the details. * Flink Flow: Kinesis Source -> Process -> Async1 -> Async2 -> Process -> Kinesis Sink * Environment: Amazon KDA. 1 Kinesis Processing Unit (1vCore & 4GB ram), and 1 parallelism. * Flink Version: 1.8.0 * Backpressure: Flink dashboard shows that backpressure is OK. * Input rate: 60 messages per second. Any kind of pointers/help will be very useful. Thanks, Sanket Agrawal
