Backup & Restore

Postgres reference adapter

The reference Postgres adapter stores memory objects, jobs, events, and index payloads in JSONB tables (infinicon_objects, infinicon_jobs, infinicon_events, infinicon_index).

Backup expectations

  • Enable WAL archiving on managed Postgres (Render, Neon, Supabase, etc.).
  • Take nightly logical or base backups.
  • Target RPO 15 minutes and RTO 2 hours for production workloads (matches capability descriptor example).

Backup command (logical)

pg_dump "$DATABASE_URL" --format=custom --file=infinicon-backup.dump

Restore command

pg_restore --clean --if-exists --dbname="$DATABASE_URL" infinicon-backup.dump

Run restore against a staging instance first. Schema is created automatically on startup via initPostgresSchema.

Migrations

Schema is idempotent (CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS). For additive migrations, append SQL under docs/devops/migrations/ and apply before deploy.

In-memory mode

No backup — data is lost on process exit. Do not use in-memory storage in production.
