This project provides hands-on instruction for implementing point-in-time recovery (PITR) for PostgreSQL databases in Google Cloud SQL. You'll learn to configure this essential disaster recovery feature that allows you to restore a database to a specific moment in time—crucial protection against accidental data changes, deletions, or application errors. The course guides you through enabling PITR on a Cloud SQL PostgreSQL instance, simulating database changes, and then performing an actual recovery to an earlier point in time. You'll verify the recovery's success by confirming that the restored database accurately reflects the state at your chosen recovery point. This practical experience with Google's database recovery capabilities prepares you to implement robust data protection strategies for production database environments. The skills gained are valuable for both preventative planning and emergency recovery situations.
