Database Backup & Recovery Platform Modernizing Mission-Critical Data Protection with Kubernetes-Native Architecture

Client

A global IoT solutions provider managing massive smart city and industrial deployments across hybrid cloud environments. With a complex infrastructure consisting of MySQL, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch clusters deployed on Kubernetes, they needed a unified backup and recovery system that was fast, flexible, and compliant.

The Challenge

In a data-intensive ecosystem, backing up and restoring mission-critical systems is often fragmented, slow, and error-prone. The client faced:
  • No centralized backup management across databases
  • High recovery times and manual failover interventions
  • Compliance risks due to lack of point-in-time restore (PITR)
  • Security gaps in handling access and encryption
  • Inconsistent tooling across Kubernetes workloads

Our Strategy

We engineered a cloud-native backup platform designed specifically for Kubernetes and modern enterprise data stacks. It’s modular, open-source-first, and highly automated and built for scale.
Platform Highlights:
  • Kubernetes-Native Architecture: Containerized DB utilities deployed on Kubernetes with support for horizontal scaling and fault tolerance via Rancher.
  • Unified Backup Utility (DB Utility): Handles full, incremental, and PITR backups across MySQL, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch.
  • Secure Web-Based GUI Dashboard: Built using AngularJS and NodeJS, allowing users to trigger, schedule, and monitor backups in real-time.
  • Modular Automation Triggers: Used Crontab for scheduled backups and LDAP for user-role authentication.
  • Cloud Storage Integration: Backups stored via MinIO (S3-compatible) with encryption and redundancy.

Tech Stack:

  • Backup Tools: XtraBackup (MySQL), PBM Agent (MongoDB), SLM (Elasticsearch)
  • Messaging & Triggering: REST APIs, Crontab
  • Data Layer: MinIO (HA), Secure File System
  • Orchestration & Platform: Kubernetes via Rancher (Multi-master, Multi-node)
  • UI: Angular + NodeJS (Non-HA mode), LDAPS authentication
  • Security: IAM, SSL/TLS, Secrets Management

Impact & Results

Metric Before TechTez After TechTez Implementation
Backup Time ~3 hours (manual) <30 minutes (automated)
Recovery Time ~6 hours <1 hour (with PITR)
Admin Overhead High (script-based) 80% reduction (central dashboard)
Data Loss Frequent critical cases Zero critical loss post-deployment
Total Cost (TCO) High (proprietary tools) 40% reduction (open-source stack)

Why It Matters

With TechTez, the client moved from a fragmented and fragile backup strategy to a scalable, resilient, and Kubernetes-ready data protection platform. We didn’t just automate the backups, we redefined reliability.
