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.

🧊Nice Pick

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 Pick

Developers 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.

🧊
The Bottom Line
No Recovery Plan wins

Developers should adopt No Recovery Plan in high-availability environments like cloud-native applications, microservices, or distributed systems where downtime is costly
