*10:45 AM UTC*: The issue was detected by our monitoring system, which alerted our DevOps team to a sudden spike in database query times.
*10:50 AM UTC*: The DevOps team investigated the issue, initially suspecting a high traffic volume due to a recent marketing campaign. They checked the server logs and monitored the database performance.
*11:15 AM UTC*: The team escalated the issue to the database administration team, assuming it was a database performance issue.
*11:30 AM UTC*: The database administration team investigated the issue, but their initial findings did not indicate any performance issues.
*12:15 PM UTC*: The DevOps team re-investigated the issue, this time focusing on the database connection configuration. They discovered a misconfigured database connection that was causing the slow query times.
*1:00 PM UTC*: The issue was resolved by updating the database connection configuration and restarting the database service.

Improve Database Connection Configuration: Regularly review and update database connection configurations to ensure they are properly set up.
Enhance Monitoring: Implement additional monitoring to detect potential issues earlier, such as monitoring database query times and connection configurations.
Database Performance Optimization: Regularly optimize database performance to prevent slow query times.
Database Connection Testing: Implement automated testing for database connections to detect misconfiguration.
Documentation: Update documentation to include detailed instructions for configuring database connections.
