This repo contains Node.js app for backing up Contentful content and assets to S3. It is written in JavaScript, and deployed as a Kubernetes cronjob.
Much of the backup code in this function was based on (or uses) the contentful-backup repo.
The app is configured to run every hour between 08:00-20:00 on weekdays (Monday-Friday). This ensures that backups are running during the times that Contentful data is most likely to be changed.
Environment variables for the production app are gotten from a k8s secret in the web namespace. To run the app locally, you'd need to create a .env file and pass it the following variables.
AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME: The S3 bucket for storing Contentful backups.CONTENTFUL_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN: The Contentful management token, used for authenticating to the Content Management API. Unlike the Content Delivery API, this API allows full exports of Contentful data and assets.CONTENTFUL_SPACE_IDS: The Contentful space ID to back up.EXPORT_DIR: The directory to use for the Contentful export. Note that, since this is running in AWS Lambda, the directory must be located under/tmp. (Default:/tmp/contentful-export.)SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: A URL for a Slack webhook, using the Incoming WebHooks Slack app. When you create a new webhook for Contentful backups, set this environment variable so that the lambda function will post its results to Slack.
