Fix maintenance tasks failing to run in production. In production they were losing the database connection and not re-establishing it, so they couldn't queue jobs. `ApplicationRecord.verify!` will check if the connection is lost and re-establish it if it is. The database connection was being lost because in production we use a Kubernetes service IP for the database IP, which is essentially a virtual IP that maps to the real IP. This mapping is implemented with IPVS[1][2], which has a default idle connection timeout of 5 minutes. If the connection isn't used for more than 5 minutes, then it's closed. Since maintenance only runs once an hour, the database connection would be lost because it was idle for too long. 1: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#proxy-mode-ipvs 2: https://kubernetes.io/blog/2018/07/09/ipvs-based-in-cluster-load-balancing-deep-dive/
