Operations

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for operating and maintaining your Tacnode data warehouse in production environments. Learn how to ensure data safety, optimize performance, and maintain system reliability.

Data Protection and Recovery

Backup and Restore

Learn how to create reliable backups and restore your databases when needed. Tacnode provides automated backup solutions with configurable retention policies to protect your critical data.

Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR)

Restore your database to any specific moment within the last 7 days with millisecond precision. Essential for recovering from accidental data changes or corruption.

Performance and Scaling

Workload Isolation

Implement effective resource separation for different teams, environments, and workload types. Use Tacnode's compute-storage separation architecture to achieve optimal resource utilization.

Monitoring and Observability

Monitoring and Metrics

Track system performance, resource utilization, and query patterns using comprehensive metrics. Monitor nodegroup health, database storage, and application performance.

CloudWatch Integration

Integrate with AWS CloudWatch to centralize monitoring and alerting. Push Tacnode metrics to CloudWatch for unified observability across your AWS infrastructure.
