What we did not have was a <em>proven</em> restore. Those are different claims, and the gap between them is where outages become permanent.</p> <p>SigNoz is open-source observability backed by ClickHouse. The staging deployment on our self-hosted VPS ran the usual set: ClickHouse for telemetry, clickhouse-keeper for coordination, and Postgres for stack metadata. Snapshots existed. Nobody had ever restored one and confirmed the data came back queryable. A backup you have never restored is a hypothesis, not a safety net.</p>
