How do I keep my app online (uptime, backups)?

By Reejan R Gopan · Software & Systems Engineer, Dubai, UAE

Automated backups with point-in-time recovery — and test restoring them
Redundancy: run across multiple availability zones; managed databases make this easy
Monitoring & alerts: uptime checks, error tracking, notifications to your phone
Safe deploys: CI/CD, preview environments and quick rollbacks
Know your targets: how much data you can lose (RPO) and how long you can be down (RTO)

Reejan maintains 99%+ uptime across servers, hosting and email at USF Group.
