DrupalCon Seattle 2019: Getting to 99.99% Uptime: Disaster Recovery and Pantheon

Mission-critical websites often have a hard requirement to stay online in the event of a power or network failure. This "Disaster Recovery" requirement can greatly increases the cost and complexity of a site's infrastructure.

Pantheon is excited to announce that we are making DR easy. We have a complete end-to-end solution — leveraging the full power of the Google Cloud, along with Fastly, our Global CDN Provider — which covers customer websites in the unlikely event of a complete zone failure. Best of all, it’s built right into our platform alongside WordPress and Drupal.

This session will cover some of the basic ideas of Disaster Recovery and walk through a demonstration of how Pantheon keeps sites online even when a datacenter fails.
