Backend developers: What backend/database task wastes the most time in your workflow?

I'm researching pain points in backend development and database workflows.

Thinking about your last few weeks of work:

What backend or SQL-related task wasted the most time?

Approximately how long did it take?

Which tools did you use?

What part of the process was the most frustrating?

If you could automate one step completely, what would it be?

I'm not promoting any product—I just want to understand real developer pain points and repetitive workflows.
