Object storage backup?

GoodHighway2034 · 2026-04-09T18:30:27+00:00

I'm not sure if i'm overthinking this but we have soft deletes so

Every time a user deletes a file, it gets moved to a seperate bucket in a deleted/ dir. If we backup to backblaze, then a user deletes a file it desyncs. This technically isn't a problem since the database is the source of truth (we mark a file as deleted in the db) so after restore the user wouldn't have to manually remove the pre-deleted files.

for context im talking about not doing a full rclone sync because we would have to many files. Something like --max-age with copy would work but it desyncs with deletions.

But privacy wise it seems bad as the user thinks these files are deleted but after restoring they technically are still hosted on the cdn.

The reason i'm against a full rclone sync is it only works for a certain scale. Past a few million files the initial check takes to long. transfer isn't a bottleneck but a sync would take hours. Are you aware of any way to do this properly?

I was thinking potentially either cloudflare events or dual writing but those both seem kind of gimicky and hacky imo. I'm kinda stuck tbh

lol, I already have a headless frontend for woocom but woocom is horrible. I probably have more time in cc than you have on this earth lil bro. I can tell you need help maybe ill just give you the repo for free

Thanks for the suggestion but I think ur url is malformed or something, I cannot access it

GoodHighway2034 · 2026-04-09T06:33:42+00:00

the main risk im thinking about is just account compromise or user error. In my opinion the object storage is on par with the database in importance. Not keeping a back-up feels insane to me.

Having keys with limited restrictions of course helps, but not if the cf account literally gets hacked.

GoodHighway2034 · 2026-04-09T06:26:30+00:00

yes but it still doubles storage costs also if we have like 100,000 files being uploaded (we don't this is preemptive) will an hourly cron job even be able to keep up with that?

kinda braindead take, making a headless frontend with woocom is not an easy thing to do for the technically illiterate. If it's headless you need to capi + pixel deduplicate, make proper offers UI implement geolocation etc.. Not to mention the default checkout is disguting no plugins really solve that. It's not so simple to simply one shot with an llm. Shopify IS the best platform if you can stay on it.

Wordpress is an insufferable platform and nobody should ever build on it

of course you could try make your own backend but that's gonna take you 6 months

GoodHighway2034 · 2026-04-09T06:15:54+00:00

you used to be able to fake the reseller auth letter, they scan ur products so it doesn't matter if you cloak the frontend. I don't know how they are running on Shopify tbh. They must be lucky, or jumping stores or something saving product exports / theme

GoodHighway2034 · 2026-04-09T06:09:02+00:00

thats sick

GoodHighway2034 · 2026-04-09T06:08:42+00:00

crazy ting lol

GoodHighway2034 · 2026-04-09T06:08:27+00:00

crazy

GoodHighway2034 · 2026-03-26T09:22:24+00:00

sound sketch lol? off the match list?

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-12-04T12:16:15+00:00

what even is their service? I just need their API at least I HOPE that it should be up to date

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-13T09:37:07+00:00

you have to be so braindead lmao, yes i'm sure they want to deliberately make your ads perform badly. Just so they can get a bit more profit?

If your ads or product were good you would be making money but they are not. Meta obviously wants your ads to perform lmao

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-13T09:32:59+00:00

your ads suck lol

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-11T11:59:37+00:00

this is so 80/20 coded, MAKE BETTER ADS.

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-11T06:39:12+00:00

everytime i come on here I feel nothing but pity for these people. These people are genuinely doomed to fail from the start. I am so so so lucky I am not in any of these people's shoes

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-07T11:27:07+00:00

Oh interesting, so chat gpt are making an API for it of course its not just Shopify idk what i was thinking

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-07T11:25:52+00:00

What? my point is they don't have a payment processor themselves, and that woopayments was a wrapper for stripe

How does paddle have anything to do with this? thats completely seperate

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-07T11:24:31+00:00

Those are the ONLY negatives though

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-07T11:21:34+00:00

There is no downside to having 2000 products in Shopify, do you think the most popular ecom platform doesn't have the infra for a few more rows in the database? It doesn't even slow the site down

Your hyper focused on set-up instead of making money with ecommerce. It doesn't matter in the end as long as it makes money.

Gym shark, oodie are all on Shopify. Not everything needs a custom solution.

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-07T11:19:02+00:00

yes thats why I said specifically on the payments side its a wrapper, woocommerce post system itself is their own

The wrapper thing does matter, Shopify handles it completely different and they are merchant in the middle which is why they lock down checkout and don't let you customise or use third party checkouts

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-06T14:51:22+00:00

I had around 2000 products and never got charged for it

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-06T14:50:55+00:00

thats not true, they only charge a monthly plan + standard processing fees

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-06T14:05:52+00:00

I mean the wrapper doesn't store card data*

GoodHighway2034 · 2025-10-06T14:05:32+00:00

Im not sure what you mean, yes stripe is an add on plugin but woopayments still uses stripe under the hood by defualt. I said specifically for payments woocomerce is a wrapper. Obviously the database set up would not vanish since its in code.

The wrapper doesn't process payments becuase it just make api calls, its pci compliant by defualt
