Thanks @gastaldi @geoand


In such cases, if the connections are slow, for example, it may take more than 3 seconds to get a response from the key endpoint, the current event loop thread will most likely block.

To prevent it, set `quarkus.smallrye-jwt.blocking-authentication=true`.

@AdamBien FYI - it may not be necessary, please check. Quarkus is super fast either way, but smallrye-jwt-reactive is on the map, just not sure yet when it will happen, but it will eventually

I think the key retrieval / resolution could be too slow / cause the timeout:

The configuration:

quarkus.smallrye-jwt.blocking-authentication=true

solved the problem.
