What RPO and RTO mean for a small business

RPO is how much work you can lose. RTO is how long you are down. For a plumber, RPO is the jobs and invoices that never made it to disk; RTO is how long the phone-site-and-CRM loop is dark. Briovela Free targets RPO of minutes and RTO of seconds to minutes after failover. Paid plans target RPO zero — an acknowledged write is not sitting on one dead primary. Those numbers are the running topology, not a slogan.

Why a five-minute RPO still hurts

Five minutes is a typical single-region standby window. It is also a morning of texts, a deposit, and a calendar change. We publish it so Free customers are not surprised.

RPO zero on paid plans means the database does not acknowledge a write until another region has it. You wait a little on each write. You do not replay a morning from memory.
