Giraffe makes use GCP multi-zone redundancy & backups and our core database is backed up daily. Giraffe is currently a single region deployment, spread across multiple zones for disaster recovery purposes. However, on our roadmap we have plans to become multi-regional with the second region targeted for the US.
Target Uptime
- Giraffe Platform target's a 99.9% up time (no more than 4 hours down per year)
User Data Backup Policy
- The core database is backed up on a daily basis
- New: Backup's are now tested for integrity on a monthly basis.
Platform Code Back Up Policy
- The platform code is stored and managed on GitHub. Giraffe leverages all the security and backup protocols available, ensuring that there are no unauthorised accesses to the code base
- Daily offline backups are made of the platform code both for operational and archive purposes
Automated Disaster Recovery
- In the event one of the data centres within the region is compromised, GCP's multi-zone tools will automatically recover from one of the additional regions the deployment is distributed to.
