Resilience & Disaster Recovery¶
VeriSaaS Cloud is designed to keep the service available during local failures and to recover it in less than 60 minutes (RTO) if a disaster happens.
High availability¶
- Each region (AWS EU, AWS US and GCP EU) has several availability zones, which are physically separate data centers with independent power and networking.
- VeriSaaS services run on several instances distributed across availability zones and scale automatically with demand.
- Managed load balancers send traffic only to healthy instances.
Disaster recovery¶
- Backups are automated, encrypted and replicated to a secondary location within the same geographic area.
- Disaster recovery procedures are defined and prepared in advance, so the service can be restored if a whole region becomes unavailable.
- All VeriSaaS infrastructure is defined as code, so it can be recreated in a repeatable way.
- Recovery Time Objective (RTO): less than 60 minutes.
Running on two cloud providers adds another layer of resilience, as it reduces dependence on a single vendor.
