## What it is
Stash is a cloud-native backup and recovery operator for Kubernetes that uses restic or CSI volume snapshots to back up workload volumes, standalone PVCs, and databases. It provides declarative backup/restore APIs with extensible addons for custom workloads.

## Use cases
- back up kubernetes volumes and pvcs
- disaster recovery for kubernetes stateful apps
- backup databases running in kubernetes
- schedule restic backups of statefulsets
- restore kubernetes workload data after failure
- snapshot volumes with csi drivers

## When to choose
- you run stateful production workloads on kubernetes and need automated, declarative backups
- you want restic-based deduplicated, encrypted backups integrated with kubernetes CRDs
- you need to back up both volumes and databases from one operator

## When to avoid
- you need simple file-level backups outside kubernetes - plain restic is lighter
- you require enterprise features that are gated behind the paid edition
- you run on non-kubernetes infrastructure

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: backup, deployment, cloud, developer-tools
- domain: cloud-computing, self-hosted, databases
