Choose a data service, managed or self-managed, and connect it privately, replication and failover included
Choose between a managed and a self-managed database, understand replication, backup and failover, limit connections, reach the database through its private address without going over the Internet, then back it up with pg_dump and restore it with pg_restore on a fresh database, comparing row counts.

Beyond the lessons
Assess, practise, pass the proof
Reading a lesson confirms nothing. A skill is confirmed by a passed quiz, practised in a guided lab, and put to the test by a challenge or a mission; an imported lab result is not verified by the site.
