Pinecone just wiped every free user account (by accident)

5 pointsby andrewcamelabout 2 years ago
Just a reminder to not store all your expensive eggs (embeddings) in one basket! Bad mistake on my part.<p>Something to be said for Pinecone on this... if your core business is to be the &quot;production-grade hosted vector DB&quot;, probably best to reallocate some of your R&amp;D budget to implementing basic controls that prevent someone running a script that can wipe the entire production DB. Undermines a lot of investment they&#x27;ve made into their reputation and brand.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.pinecone.io&#x2F;t&#x2F;did-anyone-else-just-have-their-index-deleted-due-to-inactivity&#x2F;704<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.pinecone.io&#x2F;t&#x2F;march-1st-incident-that-affected-indexes-on-the-starter-free-plan&#x2F;724&#x2F;2

Well in their defense it appears a good percentage of the databases have been &#x2F; are being restored<p>&gt; March 3, 1:20am ET - We have restored a total of 388 indexes out of 515 that were deleted. We are continuing work to recover additional indexes and will share more updates here.
