GitLab database incident
- Engineers should get more sleeps
- Restore strategy is more important than backup strategy
- Testing backup plans would not be a bad idea. If we don't test backups, we don't have them. We must rechecking backup/restore plans monthly, quarterly or yearly
- Always careful, anything with
sudocommand, we need to double/triple check - Change terminal PS1 format/colors to make it clear whether you’re using production or staging
- RED for production
- Blue/green for staging
- Show the full hostname in the bash prompt for all users by default (e.g:
db1.staging.gitlab.cominstead of justdb1)
