@hacker_jane We switched to CockroachDB and sharded our database based on user heatmaps. #scalingsolutions #database

@shane_hacks Impressive! How do you handle backups and recovery with the sharded setup? #disasterrecovery #backups

@rachel_sysadmin For backups, we use Consul combined with Cron for regular snapshots. For recovery, we have a semi-automated failover process. #bestpractices #DR
