[Verse 1]
When systems fail and servers crash
How long can you afford to wait
Recovery Time Objective sets the line
Between acceptable and too late
Minutes, hours, or days to bring it back
Map each service to its critical track
[Chorus]
RTO RPO, time and point
Recovery targets we appoint
How much downtime, how much lost
Balance service with the cost
RTO RPO, draw the line
Make your recovery goals align
[Verse 2]
Recovery Point Objective tells the tale
Of data loss that you can take
Last backup, last transaction saved
How much history is at stake
Fifteen minutes or an hour behind
Depends on what your business can't unwind
[Chorus]
RTO RPO, time and point
Recovery targets we appoint
How much downtime, how much lost
Balance service with the cost
RTO RPO, draw the line
Make your recovery goals align
[Bridge]
Database needs milliseconds tight
Static content can wait all night
Payment systems get priority one
Marketing blogs when crisis is done
Tier your services by their worth
Match recovery to business earth
[Verse 3]
Map your stack from front to back
Every layer needs its goal
Load balancers and API gates
CDN and data stores whole
Geographic spread and failover plans
RTO RPO guides your hands
[Chorus]
RTO RPO, time and point
Recovery targets we appoint
How much downtime, how much lost
Balance service with the cost
RTO RPO, draw the line
Make your recovery goals align
[Outro]
When geopolitics shake the ground
And supply chains break their sound
Your objectives keep you strong
RTO RPO all along
