Postgres

SOC2/CI-79

Postgres database now uses a single [Cloud SQL] instance, which is a fully managed service by GCP. It provides fully automated daily backup with point-in-time-recovery and retains for 7 days. We also have on-demand backup prior to upgrade to provide fallback plan for unanticipated events.

GKE

SOC2/CI-79

All services of a Cloud instance are running on a dedicated GKE cluster. We utilize Backup for GKE to provides fully automated daily backup with retention set to 90 days. The backup includes all production disks and application state. Additionally, backup is always taken prior to upgrade or other major operation.
