Hi Team,

We are multiple microservices(With Liquibase) running on Azure AKS cluster as a pod.

Frequently we have noticed DB locks and pods will crash as it will fail in health checks.

Is there a way to overcome this scenario as it is impacting a lot. We have to manually unlock DB table, so that pod will start.

In one of the logs, I’ve noticed below error

I believe, it needs to be handled from Application(Springboot).
