With almost every organizations going for cloud-first strategy, they are choosing OutSystems PaaS infrastructure over setting up and maintaining the on-premise.
With the OutSystems cloud offering, all database data (application source versions, configurations and application runtime data) is backed up and maintained for 15 days. We can always request a database restore to a given point in time. In this case, the Backup and Restore procedure is only applicable at the database level for the entire platform and, it will restore the whole data available to the point of time we are choosing.
Since on the cloud version, we do not have multiple Database Catalogs and Schemas, which means we can not have database backup policies and maintenance plan per application out-of-box.
It is a risk for applications. The core of any application is its data. If we are developing a couple of business applications on single PaaS infrastructure then this brings the risk for all the other applications on the platform.
- All the applications are sharing the database
- One application can not rollback to different day/time because it'll affect the other application sharing the database on the environment.
