Uses AWS-compatible S3 storage to store application databases and filesystem backup snapshots and retains only a specified count of backups to prevent storage overflow. The pipeline pushes metrics to a MySQL database which can be scaped for monitoring. This is the scaled-up cousin of the earlier backup CLI for automated cloud-native backups.
Capabilities
- MySQL database backups via mysqldump.
- File system backups using UNIX zip.
- AWS S3 Compatible Object Storage backups, leveraging the storage reliability AWS provides.
Technologies
- GitHub Actions: handles workflow exceution and automation steps.
- AWS CLI: Used to access and manage the cloud object storage.
- AWS S3 Compatible Object Storage: Storage warehouse for archiving the backups and can hold years of storage.
The metrics it pushes feed into the monitoring system so backup health is part of your observability layer.
