The complexity of managing backups at scale, combined with the need for rapid recovery, creates operational burden and concerns about data durability.

Collection History
Backups that don't work.
You can't easily restore 'just Orders for tenant X.' It's all intertwined. Backups older than 35 days.
Many teams assume S3 durability means they are 'covered.' Durability is not the same as operational recoverability. If a user, script, or compromised credential deletes or overwrites data, high durability does not undo that mistake... Accidental deletions become outages... Ransomware or compromised automation can destroy data fast.
We handle over a terabyte of transactional data every day, and backups are critical. Ensuring recovery plans are solid is non-negotiable.
