The Database resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database service provides an optional auto_backup_window option in its API during creation ( Terraform resource: oci_database_database ). The database resource can be used in an OCI Base DB system or Exadata Cloud VM Cluster pluggable database (PDB) for example. The time window enum value selected for initiating automatic backup for the database system is available in twelve two-hour UTC time windows as the following: Slot Description SLOT_ONE 12:00AM - 2:00AM UTC SLOT_TWO 2:00AM - 4:00AM UTC SLOT_THREE 4:00AM - 6:00AM UTC SLOT_FOUR 6:00AM - 8:00AM UTC SLOT_FIVE 8:00AM - 10:00AM UTC SLOT_SIX 10:00AM - 12:00PM UTC SLOT_SEVEN 12:00PM - 2:00PM UTC SLOT_EIGHT 2:00PM - 4:00PM UTC SLOT_NINE 4:00PM - 6:00PM UTC SLOT_TEN 6:00PM - 8:00PM UTC SLOT_ELEVEN 8:00PM - 10:00PM UTC SLOT_TWELVE 10:00PM - 12:00AM UTC Timezone used for the slots is always UTC regardless of the timezone used in the database. For example, if the user selects SLOT_TWO from the enum list, the automatic backup job will start in between 2:00 AM (inclusive) to 4:00 AM (exclusive) If no option is selected, a start time between 12:00 AM to 7:00 AM in the region of the database is automatically chosen.

Every World Cup there's a moment. Some player nobody outside their domestic league had heard of scores an absolute screamer in a knockout match, and by the time they've finished celebrating, their follower count is climbing like a rocket. I always found that fascinating, but I could never see it happening in real time. By the time the "X gained 3 million followers!" tweets show up, the surge is already over. So this tournament I built a little tracker that snapshots player follower counts on a schedule and shows me the growth curve as it happens. Here's how it works. Why the official APIs were a dead end My first instinct was to do this "properly" with official APIs. That died fast: Instagram's Graph API won't give you follower counts for accounts you don't own. TikTok's research API is academics-only and takes weeks of applications. X's API now starts at $100/month. I just wanted public follower counts — numbers anyone can see by opening the app. I didn't want a data partnership and a legal review. I ended up using SociaVault , which wraps the public profile data from each platform behind one API and one key. One request, one credit, JSON back. The shared client Everything runs through one tiny helper: // Node 18+ has fetch built in const API_KEY = process . env . SOCIAVAULT_API_KEY ; const BASE = " https://api.sociavault.com " ; async function sv ( path , params ) { const url = new URL ( BASE + path ); Object . entries ( params ). forEach (([ k , v ]) => url . searchParams . set ( k , v )); const res = await fetch ( url , { headers : { " X-API-Key " : API_KEY } }); if ( ! res . ok ) throw new Error ( ` ${ res . status } ${ await res . text ()} ` ); return res . json (); } Grabbing follower counts across platforms Each platform nests the count slightly differently, so I use fallback chains to stay defensive: async function instagramFollowers ( username ) { const data = await sv ( " /v1/scrape/instagram/profile " , { username }); const p = data . data ?. user ?? dat
