Production operations
Production operation spans application schema, database files, internal storage formats, backup chains, and service boundaries. These are independent; a binary upgrade, schema migration, and backup restore are not the same action.
Read in order:
- Storage and failures
- Schema migrations
- Backup, restore, and compaction
- Service deployment
- Metrics and diagnosis
- Upgrading
Rehearse material changes against a quiescent copy and verify schema identity, ledger, typed rows, indexes, application reads/writes, reopen, and check.
