FYI to answer your questions both Aiven (the one mentioned by ElephantSQL as the partnered migration path) and Digitalocean do regular WAL-based backups in addition to the daily, so latest transaction available is 'moments before someone ripped the cables'. It does kind of suck the docs are not super clear about that though.
- neilv 3y agoThank you. That helps. Though, not finding documentation that they even do it doesn't give me the confidence that they've been really rigorous about implementing it. I think, the next time I need this for a kitchen table startup, I'll have see whether the documentation is much more reassuring then, or contact them. If I need more reassurance than I'm getting, I might have to get AWS startup credits, and hope AWS costs don't outpace my ability to pay.
