You're staring at a P95 latency spike.
The alert says: "Database pool exhausted. P95: 2847ms."You know what broke. You don't know why.
So you open your git log, check when the spike started, scroll through commits, and try to figure out what changed in the 10 minutes before everything went sideways.
That archaeology takes 20 minutes on a good day. At 2am it takes longer.
