You are responsible for backing up the database regularly. Cobrowse will not do this automatically in any way. See the MongoDB docs for recommendations on backup strategies. MongoDB Atlas can be configured to do this automatically.
The config directory created by our command line utility is a git repo. You can update to the latest version by doing:
>git pull upstream master
Once you have done that, you can update your deployment via Terraform or Docker Compose as in the initial deployment.
Dedicated staging instance
We recommend self-hosting a separate staging instance of our software to development against and also to test new releases before moving to production. Please contact us if you are interested.
