Back with the Ghost sites failing to load following an AWS RDS maintenance/backup window

Thanks @Hannah for the hints! :slight_smile: I will check them out and report back here.

One thing that I could think of would be that RDS being on a t2.micro instance type might use up its cpu credits somehow and that’s why some dbase calls get refused (maybe due to the backup/maintenance processes being cpu intensive).

I also get a spike in index.php time in NewRelic, but unsure if it’s Ghost’s index.php or WordPress index.php. :slight_smile:

Digging into NewRelic a bit I found these DB requests generating issues:

Anyways, will check the knex config and see if tweaking that to 0 as you recommended makes this going away.
