Hello, I'm Otsuka, CTO at Liberogic.
You've asked me to write an article, but I don't have much to say, so today I'll share a story from a while back.
In fact, more than a year ago, I built an internal backup system for microCMS.
microCMS does have backups for data protection, but there is no way to retrieve past data from the admin interface. As a safeguard against accidental data deletion, I started this project on a "well, let's just build it" whim.
A Brief Overview of How It Works
- Created a program that performs backups using Cloudflare Workers
- Triggered manually or via CRON
- Uniqueness is ensured by endpoint + id + revisedAt
- Data is managed as snapshots without duplication
- Media files are saved together as well
Storage locations: articles are stored in Cloudflare D1, and media files in Cloudflare R2.
You can back up both article data and images together.
A system designed with recovery in mind
Backups are not just about "taking" them; what matters most is being able to restore when it counts.
"I want to revert to yesterday's state" or "I want to recover an article I accidentally deleted"
are the kinds of situations you can prepare for, and having that in place makes a real difference to your peace of mind during operations.
Summary
- A backup system for microCMS, built in a Cloudflare environment
- Save articles and content together and manage them as snapshots
- A system that gives you peace of mind, including recovery
It's surprising how useful these kinds of tools turn out to be in day-to-day work: the ones we build simply because we need them ourselves.
Well then.
