Slow point-in-time recovery (PITR) in PostgreSQL services, such as AWS RDS, presents a significant challenge for companies, leading to extended downtimes, customer dissatisfaction, and potential revenue losses. A survey of 50 developers managing large Postgres databases revealed that 59% experienced critical failures in the past year, with nearly 30% facing downtimes exceeding three hours. These incidents often result in negative customer feedback, SLA breaches, and disrupted engineering workflows. To address these issues, Neon offers a novel approach to Postgres recovery with instant PITR, allowing users to quickly revert to any past state without the lengthy wait associated with traditional methods. Neon's solution eliminates the need for lagging replicas and costly standby instances, providing a more efficient and scalable recovery process, which is particularly beneficial for businesses where uptime is crucial.
