We have a ServiceRest endpoint that has an Activity that makes ConnectCassandra calls in it to an external Cassandra isntance.

The first time this endpoint is called it takes about 15 seconds to go through the Activity with those Cassandra calls.  Any time it's called quickly afterwards it takes less than a second to go through it.  It seems like the initial connections to it are slow.  If it hasn't been called in a minute the initial slowness is back.

Is there a way to configure this to make the initial quicker or keep it alive or something?  I couldn't find anything like that in the community.

Thanks, Mike
