- Teams running managed PostgreSQL without server access
- Worth noticing
- The page says database passwords are sealed to backup workers’ public keys, leaving the control plane with a blob it cannot open.
Field notes
The described workflow starts with a database connection string, then runs server-side pg_dump schedules and stores checksummed archives. Verification restores an archive into a scratch database; the page’s sample record reports checks across 212 tables and 1,284,112 rows. It also describes scheduled restores into a nominated target such as staging, and says pruning is a dry run unless someone applies it.
