    If you are giving your codegen LLM - the model involved truly, genuinely doesn’t matter - admin access to your prod env, all I’m going to do is point and laugh.

          Then it’s not a backup, it’s just duplicated data.

        No one should be able to delete or change backups. This infra was in any case vulnerable to a ransomware attack as any bad actor that breaks in can delete the database and encrypt the backups with a key they promise to share in return for bitcoin.

      Also no prompts, ironically, for operations like “Are you sure you want to delete the production database? (y/N)”
