I currently use AWS RDS. Looking at your managed database pages and the documentation it’s not clear if, like AWS, you’re taking snapshots every 5 minutes in addition to the daily backups - or there is only the daily backup?
What is the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of your managed MySQL databases? This is assuming user error, so a cluster does not help as the mistake will be replicated.

Hey petersys 👋
The service takes a single full backup every 24 hours; the write ahead log (WAL) is backed up approximately every 5 minutes, enabling point-in-time-restore operations.
If user error occurs that needs to be rolled back, the best way to accomplish this is to create a new service from a backup at a point-in-time prior to the error. Once the new service is online, the original service can be destroyed.
For a single-node, non-HA services, it is fair to assess the RPO as approximately 5 minutes. Users who require reduced RPO should configure their Managed Database services with one or more standby nodes.
