No Recovery Plan vs Manual Recovery Plans
Developers should adopt No Recovery Plan in high-availability environments like cloud-native applications, microservices, or distributed systems where downtime is costly meets developers should learn and use manual recovery plans when working in environments where high availability and resilience are critical, such as in finance, healthcare, or e-commerce applications, to mitigate risks from outages. Here's our take.
No Recovery Plan
Developers should adopt No Recovery Plan in high-availability environments like cloud-native applications, microservices, or distributed systems where downtime is costly
No Recovery Plan
Nice PickDevelopers should adopt No Recovery Plan in high-availability environments like cloud-native applications, microservices, or distributed systems where downtime is costly
Pros
- +It's crucial for building fault-tolerant systems that can handle failures without human intervention, such as in e-commerce platforms or financial services
- +Related to: chaos-engineering, site-reliability-engineering
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Manual Recovery Plans
Developers should learn and use Manual Recovery Plans when working in environments where high availability and resilience are critical, such as in finance, healthcare, or e-commerce applications, to mitigate risks from outages
Pros
- +They are essential for compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, and for scenarios where automated recovery fails or is impractical, such as in legacy systems or during widespread incidents
- +Related to: disaster-recovery, business-continuity-planning
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use No Recovery Plan if: You want it's crucial for building fault-tolerant systems that can handle failures without human intervention, such as in e-commerce platforms or financial services and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Manual Recovery Plans if: You prioritize they are essential for compliance with regulations like gdpr or hipaa, and for scenarios where automated recovery fails or is impractical, such as in legacy systems or during widespread incidents over what No Recovery Plan offers.
