Do you allow standby nodes to work in different datacenters? If not. What is your solution for datacenter failover? If I have servers in 2 different datacenters for failover and managed database is in only one of them my failover won’t work.

Standby nodes is only supported for the same region now. We’ve never had a total outage in any of our data centers before, but we have a contingency plan for a situation like that.
We perform two full backups daily. As well, we backup the WAL every 5 minutes. These backups are hosted in a separate datacenter. In the event of a datacenter failure, you will have the option to recreate your database cluster in another data center of your choice using your backup with the risk of losing at most 5 min of data.
