how should we manage datomic cloud backups? i couldn't find docs about it i'm afraid of delete-database commands and s3 / dynamo-db deletions

You can overwrite the delete database var in your user.clj as a partial mitigation. But there are no cloud snapshot backups. They’re working on a feature that will cover that.

any other recommendation for production env? dynamodb snapshots / PITR / txlog dump? what are the best practices applied from production users of datomic?

based on https://docs.datomic.com/operation/access-control.html you might get some ideas on how to disable the ability to delete the dynamodb, but that wouldn't be sufficient probably, since by the time that operation is kicked off, there might already been changes to some metadata, which would make a db look like deleted...

the lack of backups is one of the many reasons we are also contemplating switching to datomic pro.
