Show HN: Restoredrill – proves your Postgres backups restore
Restoredrill is a new open-source tool designed to automate and verify PostgreSQL backups by restoring them into a container and running defined checks. It aims to solve the common industry problem of 'silent' backup failures by providing machine-generated reports suitable for compliance audits.
Why it matters
Reliable data recovery is critical for business continuity and regulatory compliance, yet often neglected due to the manual effort required.
Untested backups aren't backups. restoredrill proves your PostgreSQL backups actually restore. It fetches the latest backup, restores it into a throwaway Postgres container, runs checks you define, and writes a JSON report with the restore time.
The article is a technical product announcement that objectively describes the tool's utility and target use cases.
