[aws][backup strategy]

Hello !

Follow up on this topic

We recently added snapshot in our strategy to ensure data recovery as much as we can in case our database falls into pieces.
AWS flow wants us to deploy a new DB instance from a snapshot directly, hence changing the DB URI.

Let’s say the DB fails at 3:30pm. Then we spin a new instance from a snapshot created at 3pm. How can I recover those 30 minutes of data ?

Do you have any recommandation on how to handle such data failure ?
We have set a snapshot creation every hour with a TTL of 35 days.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Hello @Georges-Ryan,

regarding your problem, I think the best solution is to use Lifecycle Jobs to start a new version of the Database.

We have documentation on how to use Lifecycle jobs here: How To Use Lifecycle Job To Deploy Any Kind Of Resources | Qovery

I hope this was helpful,

Regards,
