Reading over this, it seems like there isn't an offsite backup done of the database? eg to have a copy of the data in a "safe place" off AWS infrastructure

If something goes wrong with their relationship with AWS, that could be business ending. :(

The termination clauses in their T&C's say they will give you access, post "for cause" termination, so long as you've paid your bill. Though I'm mindful that pulling a lot of data could take a long time.

That's still a lot of trust that nothing else wipes the account.

But this post wasn't about backups, so there might be a whole lot excluded from the diagram.
