Hello,
As the title suggests, how do you manage your DBs for docker services.
Do you spin a new DB for every new docker cluster or do you have a centralized DB that is accessible to the docker clusters.
What are the pros and cons of both method?
For the moment, I spin a new DB for every services as I feel it is easier to backup the service in case of a problem.
Most of the time that’s perfectly fine, but if the database were in the middle of an operation you risk corruption.
The last thing I want is database corruption. That is why I “docker compose down” before I make a backup then “docker compose up” when the backup is complete. Is that not good enough? Do I have to do something else?
