Backups, RPO and RTO
The database runs on Cloud SQL in a REGIONAL configuration (synchronous standby in a second zone), served from europe-central2 + europe-west1. Automated daily backup at 03:00 UTC, 14 copies retained, stored in the EU multi-region — not in the region that just failed. Point-in-time recovery is enabled, with 7 days of transaction logs.
- RPO target (backup only): at most 24h
- RPO target (with PITR): on the order of minutes
- RTO target (database restore): under 10m
- RTO target (full platform): under 1h
