MongoDB patterns
Replica set SRV records, read preference guidance, and index discipline owned by application teams—platform provides network path and disk performance class.
MongoDB · Postgres · private networking
Database integration for node js workloads
Databases are the coupling point for most outages. We document connection paths, TLS modes, rotation responsibilities, and backup RPO/RTO expectations separately for MongoDB and Postgres topologies.
Postgres patterns
Connection pooling strategies (transaction vs session pooling) with node-js driver caveats called out explicitly.
Least privilege matrix
Application role vs migration role vs observability role—each scoped to schema objects required for that task.
Encryption in transit
TLS versions and cipher suites pinned per compliance packet.
Encryption at rest
Volume-level encryption with customer-managed keys available on select dedicated SKUs.
Backups
Logical dumps vs storage snapshots—choose based on recovery drills.
Validate connectivity before cutover
Use migration windows documented with migration assistance.
