Had an issue where my system did not perform as expected under immense load even though it was sized to handle much more than it took. The customer was not happy to say the least. I flew out to the office and after days of taking things apart and back again, it was a QA team member who discovered that the system was being artificially limited by an apache configuration.
The misconfiguration was limiting the system to 15% capacity. Once we fixed the config, it overperformed. The lesson I learned is that sometimes, it takes a fresh set of eyes to solve the bug. We have our own internal biases that limits where we look to solve the problem.
