Description

We've been seeing sporadic read ETIMEDOUT errors when making queries to our database. The traffic is fairly low, and the issue is seen in periods of very low activity i.e. overnight.

These are the particulars:

  • Node 22.14.0
  • Relevant npm dependencies
    • mysql2 - ^3.12.0
    • typeorm - ^0.3.20
    • @nestjs/typeorm - ^10.0.2
  • MySQL 8.0.40 on AWS RDS
    • Instance class db.t4g.large
    • No RDS proxy

All are on pretty standard config. We've tried setting some of these options but no success

connectTimeout: 30_000
connectionLimit: 40
maxIdle: 10
idleTimeout: 30_000

Are there any configuration options worth trying? AWS seems to suggest there are no issues on their end, very stumped!
