    Maintenance: Enable the point-in-time recovery option on the main Postgres database. This should be a zero-downtime operation but we noticed that connections were dropping while testing in the Staging Environment. Our backend systems do reconnect but there could be an impact on transactions that are in-flight. We estimate that the operation will take 20min to 30min, but the connection dropping only occurred during a smaller time frame of a couple of minutes in the beginning. Why does it matter: - Reduces data loss from hours to seconds in case of a database failure - Enables us to conduct database recovery exercises without downtime as required per SOC II and ISO 27001..

Archive proof

Rewindex commits each version of an incident it captures to a daily checkpoint, chains it to the day before, and has the checkpoint timestamped by FreeTSA and DigiCert. That proves this record existed by then and has not been changed since, by anyone, Rewindex included.

How the archive is checked, and what it cannot prove.

Impact, status and times are the vendor’s own, as last archived. View on status.airbyte.com (opens in new tab).
