And it doesn't even have to do with these tools in the end, this is a disaster recovery issue at its root. If you are a revenue generating business and using any provider other than AWS or GCP and you don't have an off prem/multi-cloud replica/daily backup of your database and object store, you should be working on that yesterday. Even if you are on one of the major cloud providers and trust regional availability, you should still have that unless it's just cost-prohibitive because of the size of the data.

replyPerhaps they should include a warning about learning systems design and architecture too then? It’s very incomplete.
