Russian technology firm Yandex successfully restored 97.16% of customer data in its Yandex Cloud service, but confirmed 2.84% was permanently lost after October drone attacks. The incident damaged three data centres, though supercomputers housed in two of the targeted facilities avoided harm and were relocated to other sites. In response to the hardware destruction, Yandex plans to enable backup by default and distribute computing resources across new, independent regional locations.

MOSCOW, Nov 10 : Russian technology giant Yandex has restored 97.16 per cent of customer data in its Yandex Cloud service after drone attacks hit its infrastructure in October, while the rest is permanently lost, the company said on Tuesday.
"The remaining 2.84 per cent cannot be recovered due to critical damage to equipment and the absence of backups on the platform by customers," the company said in its statement.
Three Yandex data centres were damaged in Ukrainian drone strikes in early October, causing disruptions to infrastructure and services, primarily Yandex Cloud.
The company previously said that supercomputers located in two of the data centres were not damaged and had been moved to other locations.
Yandex said it will in future enable backup by default to save as much data as possible in the event of any future disruptions.
"Engineers continue to distribute Yandex Cloud computing resources across new independent locations in different regions of the Russian Federation. The number of locations will continue to increase," the company said.

Modern processor performance degrades by 15 to 20 cycles whenever branch predictors fail while evaluating number formats. To mitigate these penalties, the fast_float library bundled in GCC's C++ standard library now accepts template arguments describing expected data layouts. This update delivers substantial throughput improvements by bypassing unnecessary checks on digit lengths, signs, and rounding modes.
Engineering teams can maintain robust analytical and reporting capabilities directly within non-relational document stores by establishing disciplined data-shaping practices early on. Structuring collections proactively helps companies satisfy complex audit requirements and business intelligence needs without the added overhead of deploying a secondary database system. This operational approach prevents schema evolution from compromising data integrity while preserving long-term analytical flexibility.
