Hi Justin,
I am getting MySQL server has gone away. I think there is an issue with how the MySQL Ruby driver establish connection to MySQL. I have been noticing that when there is inactivity in the application, MySQL would just fade away silently. I am going to monitor this again and see what is the root cause of this.
