How does backups work? And what about updates? Or is this more like a 'try' / testing app hosting?
1 comments

Backups are for the whole server at the moment and include mounted volumes and databases. Hoping to add per-pod snapshots a bit later. Helps that we already run a backup service. More on this planned feature here: https://feedback.pikapods.com/posts/14/offer-backup-option

Updates arrive a few days after they are released and if you keep the ‘automatic updated’ setting enabled. We do some rudimentary QA before deploying updates.

It’s definitely for long-term hosting. Many pods have been running for months (we had a public beta since around January)
