chore(ops): weekly off-Neon pg_dump backup script (#58)#84
Merged
Conversation
Neon's free plan retains only 24h of PITR, so a bad write not caught within a day is unrecoverable. Add scripts/backup-neon.sh: a weekly compressed logical dump to local disk as the disaster-recovery floor. - Reuses the app's connection config: DATABASE_URL (JDBC, jdbc: prefix stripped to a libpq URI) or DB_* fallback. Password is routed to PGPASSWORD (never argv) so it can't leak via ps / /proc/<pid>/cmdline. - Dumps schema-only (--exclude-table-data) for the rebuildable api_response_cache / api_response_body / api_fetch_failure tables to keep dumps small (~9MB vs cache bloat). - Atomic: writes to $OUT.tmp and mv's to the final name only on success, so a failed/partial dump never masquerades as valid or evicts a good backup via the retention prune. - Retention prune keeps the newest CCAS_BACKUP_RETAIN (default 6) dumps. README gains a Backups section (cron line, restore command + pg_restore version note, env knobs); .env.example documents the two backup vars. Smoke-tested against prod Neon: 9.3M dump, valid archive, exclusions verified (excluded tables keep DDL, drop data; 29 core tables retain rows). Closes #58.

What
Adds
scripts/backup-neon.sh— a weekly compressed logical dump of the CCAS database to local disk, plus a README Backups section and.env.exampleentries.Why
Neon's free plan retains only 24h of PITR. A bad write not caught within a day is unrecoverable. This is the missing disaster-recovery floor. Pure ops — no Scala touched.
Design
DATABASE_URL(JDBC form,jdbc:prefix stripped to a libpq URI) takes priority, elseDB_*. The password is routed toPGPASSWORD(with urldecode) so it never lands in argv (no leak viaps//proc/<pid>/cmdline).--exclude-table-data) for the rebuildableapi_response_cache/api_response_body/api_fetch_failuretables — restore recreates empty tables, app refills them.$OUT.tmp,mvs to the final name only on success → a failed/partial dump never masquerades as valid or evicts a good backup via the retention prune.CCAS_BACKUP_RETAIN(default 6).Verification
pg_restore --list, 202 entries), exclusions confirmed (3 excluded tables keep DDL, drop data; 29 core tables retain rows).sbt test: 791 passed, 0 failed.Closes #58.
