Description

@jvwong

This application, coupled with a sync service (e.g. rclone) can be used to dump RethinkDB database data to archive and subsequently uploaded to the cloud (e.g. Dropbox). There are a few questions that remain:

  1. How should a dump/sync be initated?
  2. How should each dump/sync be handled?
  3. How should the dump/sync data be managed?

Initiate a dump/sync

A) cron job
B) client requests through web service (currently implemented)
C) listen to DB

Handle a dump/sync

A) Each request handled immediately
B) Delayed (e.g. 1 hour), additional requests ignored; accept post-submit changes immediately

Handle a dump/sync data

A) Keep everything
B) Clean up the server dumps
C) Clean up the server dumps and mirror everything on cloud
