If with "some more advanced db" you mean postgres and not mysql:

* MySQL/MariaDB was not affected by the outage
* MySQL/MariaDB has point in time recovery enabled at all time, on all
hosts, labs and non-labs. As recommended reading: <

* Extra DB redundancy for tools (not only for wiki replicas) will be rolled
in as soon as there is hardware for it (already planned)
