4 verified briefings on Disaster Recovery. Each story includes a plain-English summary, why it matters, and the concrete action engineering teams should take.
A new tool called ReviveDB automatically tests every Supabase backup to ensure it can be restored correctly. It checks not just data but the entire database structure, preventing silent failures that could cripple a recovery attempt.
