## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Gravl's disaster recovery strategy ensures data durability, rapid recovery, and minimal downtime across multi-region Kubernetes deployments. The approach combines:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Automated daily backups** to AWS S3 with retention policies
|
||||
- **Point-in-time recovery (PITR)** via PostgreSQL WAL archiving
|
||||
- **Regular backup testing** with automated restore validation
|
||||
- **Multi-region replication** for failover capability
|
||||
- **Defined RTO/RPO targets** for business continuity
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Metrics:**
|
||||
- **RPO (Recovery Point Objective):** <1 hour (maximum data loss)
|
||||
- **RTO (Recovery Time Objective):** <4 hours (maximum downtime)
|
||||
- **Backup Retention:** 30 days daily backups + 7 years archive
|
||||
- **Testing Frequency:** Weekly automated restore tests
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## RTO/RPO Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** <1 hour
|
||||
|
||||
**Mechanism:**
|
||||
- Daily full backups at 02:00 UTC (to S3)
|
||||
- Hourly incremental backups via WAL archiving
|
||||
- PostgreSQL point-in-time recovery enabled
|
||||
|
||||
**RPO Calculation:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Worst Case: Full backup (24h old) + 1 hourly increment
|
||||
Maximum data loss: ~1 hour since last WAL archive
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptable Business Impact:**
|
||||
- Lose up to 1 hour of transactions
|
||||
- Suitable for business operations (not mission-critical)
|
||||
- Can be tightened to 15-min RPO with more frequent backups
|
||||
|
||||
### Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** <4 hours
|
||||
|
||||
**Phases:**
|
||||
1. **Detection & Assessment (0-30 min)**
|
||||
- Automated monitoring detects failure
|
||||
- On-call engineer is paged
|
||||
- Backup integrity is verified
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Failover Initiation (30-60 min)**
|
||||
- Secondary region is promoted
|
||||
- DNS records are updated
|
||||
- Application servers redirect to standby DB
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Validation & Cutover (60-120 min)**
|
||||
- Application connectivity verified
|
||||
- Data consistency checks
|
||||
- Customer notification sent
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Full Recovery (120-240 min)**
|
||||
- Primary region is recovered
|
||||
- Data synchronization
|
||||
- Failback to primary (if applicable)
|
||||
|
||||
**Time Breakdown:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Detection : 5 min
|
||||
Assessment : 10 min
|
||||
Failover Prep : 20 min
|
||||
DNS Propagation : 5 min
|
||||
App Reconnection : 10 min
|
||||
Validation : 20 min
|
||||
Full Sync : 60 min
|
||||
───────────────────────
|
||||
Total RTO : ~130 minutes (well within 4h target)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SLA Commitments

|
||||
|
||||
## Backup Testing & Validation
|
||||
|
||||
### Automated Weekly Restore Test
|
||||
|
||||
**Schedule:** Every Sunday at 03:00 UTC
|
||||
**Duration:** ~45 minutes
|
||||
**Output:** Test report in S3 and monitoring system
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-Region Failover Design
|
||||
|
||||
### Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Primary Region (EU-NORTH-1)
|
||||
├── PostgreSQL Primary (Master)
|
||||
├── WAL Streaming → Secondary
|
||||
└── Backup → S3 multi-region
|
||||
|
||||
↓ Cross-region replication
|
||||
|
||||
Secondary Region (US-EAST-1)
|
||||
├── PostgreSQL Replica (Read-Only)
|
||||
├── Can be promoted to primary
|
||||
└── Backup → S3 secondary bucket
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Failover Procedures
|
||||
|
||||
#### Automatic Failover (Promoted Secondary)
|
||||
|
||||
See `scripts/failover.sh` for implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Trigger Conditions:**
|
||||
- Primary PostgreSQL pod crashes or becomes unresponsive
|
||||
- Network partition detected (no heartbeat for 5 minutes)
|
||||
- Disk failure on primary
|
||||
- Manual failover command initiated
|
||||
|
||||
#### Manual Failback (Return to Primary)
|
||||
|
||||
See `scripts/failback.sh` for implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Prerequisites:**
|
||||
- Primary region is healthy and recovered
|
||||
- Data is synchronized from secondary backup
|
||||
- Monitoring confirms primary readiness
|
||||

|
||||
| WAL archive lag | <5 min | >15 min | Every 5 min |
|
||||
| S3 upload time | <10 min | >20 min | Per backup |
|
||||
| Database replication lag | <1 min | >5 min | Every 30 sec |
|
||||
| PITR validation success | 100% | Any failure | Weekly |
|
||||
|
||||

## Disaster Recovery Runbooks
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 1: Primary Database Pod Crash
|
||||
|
||||
**Detection:** Pod restart detected, or failed health checks
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. Check pod logs: `kubectl logs -f gravl-db-0 -n gravl-prod`
|
||||
2. Verify PVC status: `kubectl get pvc -n gravl-prod`
|
||||
3. If corruption, restore from backup
|
||||
4. If infra failure, allow Kubernetes to reschedule pod
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected RTO:** <5 minutes (auto-restart)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 2: Accidental Data Deletion
|
||||
|
||||
**Detection:** User reports missing data, or consistency check fails
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. STOP: Prevent further writes (read-only mode)
|
||||
2. Identify: Determine deletion timestamp
|
||||
3. Create recovery pod
|
||||
4. Restore to point before deletion
|
||||
5. Export recovered data
|
||||
6. Apply differential to production database
|
||||
7. Verify: Run validation queries
|
||||
8. Resume: Restore write access
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected RTO:** 1-2 hours
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 3: Primary Region Outage
|
||||
|
||||
**Detection:** Multiple pod crashes, network timeout, or manual notification
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. Confirm outage: Try connecting from local machine
|
||||
2. Check AWS status page
|
||||
3. Initiate failover: Run `./scripts/failover.sh`
|
||||
4. Verify: Test connectivity to secondary database
|
||||
5. Notify: Post incident update to Slack
|
||||
6. Monitor: Watch replication lag and app errors
|
||||
7. Investigate: Review logs and metrics after stabilization
|
||||
8. Failback: Once primary recovers (see failback procedure)
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected RTO:** <4 hours
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 4: Backup Restore Test Failure
|
||||
|
||||
**Detection:** Automated weekly test fails
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. Check test logs
|
||||
2. Verify backup file: Integrity, size, checksum
|
||||
3. Manual restore test: Run `./scripts/restore.sh` with `--debug` flag
|
||||
4. Identify issue: Data corruption, missing WAL, or environment problem
|
||||
5. If backup corrupted: Restore from older backup (7-day window)
|
||||
6. Document: Update runbook with findings
|
||||
7. Alert: Notify on-call if underlying issue found
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Resolution:** 30-60 minutes
