Description

Consider something like litestream

Pros:

  • no need for heavy backup jobs (#81)
  • always up to date data replicas, instead of every N days
  • delete our own internal backup code

Cons:

  • how does litestream deal with a replica being unavailable?
  • more cpu work upfront during an experiment
  • more overhead during an experiment

Research direction

Start by locating the existing internal batch backup code and reviewing issue #81. Evaluate whether Litestream can provide continuously updated replicas when a replica is unavailable, including the stated CPU and overhead costs. Done means replacing the batch approach with continuous backups and removing the internal backup code.
