Backup Is Not Enough: A PostgreSQL Recovery Story
go
dev.to
This experiment is designed to test and validate the pgrwl tool in real conditions: https://github.com/pgrwl/pgrwl Instead of synthetic examples, we simulate a real-world failure and verify that recovery actually works end-to-end. Let’s do something slightly uncomfortable. We're going to simulate a database crash and recovery. Think disk failure. Whole server gone. And then bring it back - byte for byte - as if nothing happened. Not "some" data. Not "close enough". Everything.
