Resilience & Disaster Recovery
Design and test the recovery path for the failures a system can't just monitor its way out of.
Talk to us about this ↗What this covers
Resilience is a design property, and recovery is a rehearsed process — neither holds up if it's only ever been diagrammed, not tested. We build both, then test them against realistic failure scenarios. That starts with knowing what failure would actually cost for each system, so recovery time and recovery point objectives are set by business impact rather than guesswork, then designing the redundancy, backups, and failover paths those objectives require.
Why it matters
A recovery plan that hasn't been run end-to-end is a hypothesis, not a plan. We treat testing the failure path as part of delivering it. A plan tested only on a whiteboard tends to reveal its gaps during the outage it was meant to prevent — testing it beforehand moves that discovery to a moment nobody is under pressure.
What's included
Capabilities
01
Business impact & risk assessment
Identify which systems need which recovery time and recovery point objectives, based on what failure would actually cost.
02
High-availability architecture
Design redundancy across zones or regions matched to the availability target the workload actually needs.
03
Disaster recovery planning
Document and build the failover path for scenarios beyond a single component failure — region loss, data corruption, and similar.
04
Backup strategy design
Design backup frequency, retention, and storage location around the recovery objectives they need to support.
05
Failover testing & game days
Run scheduled failure exercises to confirm the recovery plan works before it's needed for real.
06
Runbook & response documentation
Write recovery runbooks the on-call team can follow under pressure, not just the people who wrote them.
