Unhandled database connection timeout causes application exit

Not a critical issue, since the cluster restarts the application, but something to keep in mind.

Database server closes connection due to inactivity.

$ kc logs -f remoteqc-db-6f7d78cff-sz84p

Application doesn't know how to handle it so it exits.

$ kc logs -f remoteqc-567cd68bd9-kffcn

Consequently we are getting around 136 restarts a day.
