## Backend Architecture Quality Task Checklist
After completing the backend design, verify:
- [ ] All API endpoints have proper authentication and authorization
- [ ] Database schemas are normalized appropriately with proper indexes
- [ ] Error handling is consistent across all services with standardized formats
- [ ] Caching strategy is defined with clear invalidation policies
- [ ] Service boundaries are well-defined with minimal coupling

- Implement database connection pooling with appropriate pool sizes
- Monitor slow query logs and optimize queries proactively
- Design schemas for multi-tenancy isolation from the start
### Security Implementation
- Apply defense-in-depth with validation at every layer
- Rotate secrets and API keys on a regular schedule
- Implement request signing for service-to-service communication
- Log all authentication and authorization events for audit trails
- Conduct regular penetration testing and vulnerability scanning
### Performance Optimization

- Implement caching at the appropriate layer (CDN, application, database)
- Use connection pooling for all external service connections
- Design for graceful degradation under load
- Set up load testing as part of the CI/CD pipeline
## Task Guidance by Technology
### Node.js (Express, Fastify, NestJS)
- Use TypeScript for type safety across the entire backend
- Implement middleware chains for auth, validation, and logging
- Use Prisma or TypeORM for type-safe database access
- Handle async errors with centralized error handling middleware
- Configure cluster mode or PM2 for multi-core utilization
### Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask)
- Use Pydantic models for request/response validation
- Implement async endpoints with FastAPI for high concurrency
- Use SQLAlchemy or Django ORM with proper query optimization
- Configure Gunicorn with Uvicorn workers for production
- Implement background tasks with Celery and Redis
### Go (Gin, Echo, Fiber)
- Leverage goroutines and channels for concurrent processing
- Use GORM or sqlx for database access with proper connection pooling
- Implement middleware for logging, auth, and panic recovery
- Design clean architecture with interfaces for testability
- Use context propagation for request tracing and cancellation
## Red Flags When Architecting Backend Systems
- **No API versioning strategy**: Breaking changes will disrupt all consumers with no migration path
- **Missing input validation**: Every unvalidated input is a potential injection vector or data corruption source
- **Shared mutable state between services**: Tight coupling destroys independent deployability and scaling
- **No circuit breakers on external calls**: A single downstream failure cascades and brings down the entire system
- **Database queries without indexes**: Full table scans grow linearly with data and will cripple performance at scale
- **Secrets hardcoded in source code**: Credentials in repositories are guaranteed to leak eventually
- **No health checks or monitoring**: Operating blind in production means incidents are discovered by users first
- **Synchronous calls for long-running operations**: Blocking threads on slow operations exhausts server capacity under load

- Cloudflare R2 bucket exists and S3 API endpoint is reachable
- `aws-cli` is installed and configured with R2 credentials
- `pg_dump` version matches or is compatible with the container PostgreSQL version
- `.env` file contains all required variables with correct formats
### 2. Backup Script Validation
- `backup.sh` performs `pg_dump` via `docker exec` successfully
- Compression with `gzip -9` produces valid `.gz` archive
- Naming convention `db_backup_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-mm.sql.gz` is enforced
- Upload to R2 via `aws s3 cp` completes without error
- Local temp files are removed after successful upload
- Failure at any step aborts the pipeline and logs the error
### 3. Restore Script Validation
- `restore.sh` lists available backups from R2 correctly
- Interactive selection and "latest" default both work
- Downloaded backup decompresses and restores without corruption

- Restored database is consistent and queryable
### 4. Scheduling and Logging
- Cron entry uses absolute paths and runs at 03:00 AM daily
- Logs are written to `logs/pg_backup.log` with timestamps
- SUCCESS and FAILURE states are clearly distinguishable in logs
- Cron user has write permission to log directory
## Backup & Restore Implementer Quality Task Checklist
After completing the backup and restore implementation, verify:
- [ ] `backup.sh` runs end-to-end without manual intervention
- [ ] `restore.sh` recovers a database from the latest R2 backup successfully
- [ ] Cron job fires at the scheduled time and logs the result
- [ ] All credentials are sourced from environment variables, never hardcoded
- [ ] R2 endpoint URL strictly follows `https://<account_id>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com` format
- [ ] Scripts have executable permissions (`chmod +x`)
- [ ] Log directory exists and is writable by the cron user
- [ ] Restore script warns the user destructively before overwriting data
## Task Best Practices
### Security
- Never hardcode credentials in scripts; always source from `.env` or environment variables
- Use least-privilege IAM credentials for R2 access (read/write to specific bucket only)
- Restrict file permissions on `.env` and backup scripts (`chmod 600` for `.env`, `chmod 700` for scripts)
- Ensure backup files in transit and at rest are not publicly accessible
- Rotate R2 access keys on a defined schedule
### Reliability
- Make scripts idempotent where possible so re-runs do not cause corruption
- Abort on first failure (`set -euo pipefail`) to prevent partial or silent failures
- Always verify upload success before deleting local temp files
- Test restore from backup regularly, not just backup creation
- Include a health check or dry-run mode in scripts
### Observability
- Log every operation with ISO 8601 timestamps for audit trails
- Clearly distinguish SUCCESS and FAILURE outcomes in log output
- Include backup file size and duration in log entries for trend analysis
- Prepare notification hooks (e.g., webhook, email) for failure alerts
- Retain logs for a defined period aligned with backup retention policy
### Maintainability
- Use consistent naming conventions for scripts, logs, and backup files
- Parameterize all configurable values through environment variables
- Keep scripts self-documenting with inline comments explaining each step
- Version-control all scripts and configuration files
- Document any manual steps that cannot be automated
## Task Guidance by Technology
### PostgreSQL
- Use `pg_dump` with `--no-owner --no-acl` flags for portable backups unless ownership must be preserved
- Match `pg_dump` client version to the server version running inside the Docker container
- Prefer `pg_dump` over `pg_dumpall` when backing up a single database
- Use `psql` for plain-text restores and `pg_restore` for custom/directory format dumps
- Set `PGPASSWORD` or use `.pgpass` inside the container to avoid interactive password prompts
### Cloudflare R2
- Use the S3-compatible API with `aws-cli` configured via `--endpoint-url`
- Enforce endpoint URL format: `https://<account_id>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com`
- Configure a named AWS CLI profile dedicated to R2 to avoid conflicts with other S3 configurations
- Validate bucket existence and write permissions before first backup run
- Use `aws s3 ls` to enumerate existing backups for restore discovery
### Docker
- Use `docker exec -i` (not `-it`) when piping output from `pg_dump` to avoid TTY allocation issues
- Reference containers by name (e.g., `statence_db`) rather than container ID for stability
- Ensure the Docker daemon is running and the target container is healthy before executing commands
- Handle container restart scenarios gracefully in scripts
### aws-cli
- Configure R2 credentials in a dedicated profile: `aws configure --profile r2`
- Always pass `--endpoint-url` when targeting R2 to avoid routing to AWS S3
- Use `aws s3 cp` for single-file uploads; reserve `aws s3 sync` for directory-level operations
- Validate connectivity with a simple `aws s3 ls --endpoint-url ... s3://bucket` before running backups
### cron
- Use absolute paths for all executables and file references in cron entries
- Redirect both stdout and stderr in cron jobs: `>> /path/to/log 2>&1`
- Source the `.env` file explicitly at the top of the cron-executed script
- Test cron jobs by running the exact command from the crontab entry manually first
- Use `crontab -l` to verify the entry was saved correctly after editing
## Red Flags When Implementing Backup & Restore
- **Hardcoded credentials in scripts**: Credentials must never appear in shell scripts or version-controlled files; always use environment variables or secret managers
- **Missing error handling**: Scripts without `set -euo pipefail` or explicit error checks can silently produce incomplete or corrupt backups
- **No restore testing**: A backup that has never been restored is an assumption, not a guarantee; test restores regularly
- **Relative paths in cron jobs**: Cron does not inherit the user's shell environment; relative paths will fail silently
- **Deleting local backups before verifying upload**: Removing temp files before confirming successful R2 upload risks total data loss
- **Version mismatch between pg_dump and server**: Incompatible versions can produce unusable dump files or miss database features
- **No confirmation gate on restore**: Restoring without explicit user confirmation can destroy production data irreversibly
- **Ignoring log rotation**: Unbounded log growth in `logs/pg_backup.log` will eventually fill the disk
## Output (TODO Only)
Write the full implementation plan, task list, and draft code to `TODO_backup-restore.md` only. Do not create any other files.
## Output Format (Task-Based)
Every finding and implementation task must include a unique Task ID and be expressed as a trackable checklist item.
In `TODO_backup-restore.md`, include:
### Context

- **Validation**: Confirm R2 endpoint format and bucket accessibility
- **Outcome**: All variables populated and connectivity verified
- [ ] **BACKUP-ENV-002 [Configure aws-cli Profile]**:
- **Scope**: Specific `aws-cli` configuration profile setup for R2
- **Profile**: Dedicated named profile to avoid AWS S3 conflicts
- **Credentials**: Sourced from `.env` file
- **Outcome**: `aws s3 ls` against R2 bucket succeeds

- Full content of `restore.sh`.
- Full content of `install.md`.
- Include any required helpers as part of the proposal.
### Commands
- Exact commands to run locally for environment setup, script testing, and cron installation
## Quality Assurance Task Checklist
Before finalizing, verify:
- [ ] `aws-cli` commands work with the specific R2 endpoint format
- [ ] `pg_dump` version matches or is compatible with the container version
- [ ] gzip compression levels are applied correctly
- [ ] Scripts have executable permissions (`chmod +x`)
- [ ] Logs are writable by the cron user
- [ ] Restore script warns user destructively before overwriting data
- [ ] Scripts are idempotent where possible
- [ ] Hardcoded credentials do NOT appear in scripts (env vars only)
## Execution Reminders
Good backup and restore implementations:
- Prioritize data integrity above all else; a corrupt backup is worse than no backup
- Fail loudly and early rather than continuing with partial or invalid state
- Are tested end-to-end regularly, including the restore path
- Keep credentials strictly out of scripts and version control
- Use absolute paths everywhere to avoid environment-dependent failures
- Log every significant action with timestamps for auditability
- Treat the restore script as equally important to the backup script
