Enable Backups in Redis #69

Closed jimleroyer closed 1 year ago

jimleroyer commented 1 year ago

Description

As a sys ops, I want to have backup of Redis, So that I can recover some of the inflight queues to investigate some scenario.

Why

Potentially investigate past state of the Redis cache / queues.

How

Enable Redis backups in Terraform configuration.

Value

Knowing the states of queues and investigate past state. It's not as beneficial as making a backup of the database because the data in Redis is mostly transient or of cache nature (which can be revived easily).

Acceptance Criteria:

QA Steps

We talked about it in the team and we will drop this. That would not make sense as the data that is backed up would either be part of a cache that will be repopulated or stale queue data captured in the moment, for which that would not be relevant even minutes after.
