After finding out that one of the top most comments on HN about an open salary discussion was about how a talented junior engineer was paid way below his worth, I feel that this sort of thread (monthly like the Who's hiring posts, or even quarterly) would help everyone negotiate better salaries and get a feel for their worth.

With that said let's stick to the following format:

Position:

Location:

Experience:

Company:

Salary:

Bonus:

Extras: (Longer vacations, stock options, perks etc. whatever made you sign up for your current role)

Recently for a new project I am working on, I wanted to use GCP's datastore. That got me on a quest to learn more about cloud only databases like Datastore (GCP), DocumentDB (Azure) and DynamoDB (AWS).

While they all seemed ok at first, I noticed that you could not have a backup of your data to protect yourself against accidental human data corruption (bad update got pushed to prod and now your data's corruped - assuming this issue was not caught in stg etc.).

So if you use such a database, how do you handle such cases? Also what are some gotchas of such databases (from experience)?
