Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to launch my first service, which will be deployed on Hetzner in a month. Following the launch, I'll have a testing phase for about a month before onboarding my first client. My biggest concern is the potential for downtimes or data loss. I've got plans for database backups, but I'm worried about scenarios like backup failures or corruption, or even losing the server where backups are stored. What strategies do you all use for managing these kinds of risks in production environments? Really appreciate any advice you can offer!

Sometimes, all you can do is let go of the fear. Just prepare as best as you can and don’t let anxiety overwhelm you. You're going to learn from whatever happens—even failures will teach you valuable lessons!
That's a valid concern! Try to create 2 or 3 copies of your service for redundancy and load balancing. Keep backups offline and offsite to help protect against data loss. You’ll be alright, and remember, even if things don’t go as planned, you’ll learn what not to do next time. You've got this!
