I upgraded a production app from rails 4 to rails 5 a few days ago, and I have seen a big increase in CPU utilization on my RDS postgresql instance. There does not seem to be any associated increase in database requests or decrease in speed.
What could cause that? What can I do to bring CPU utilization back down while still using Rails 5?
The image below shows CPU utilization on the RDS instance. The time of the upgrade is just to the left of the 11/09 line.
