Operating a project

Run a project over time: environments, promotion, backups, the search index, and every limit.

• Environments

  An owner creates an environment empty or as a clone of another, gives it a website preview URL and keys of its own, and deletes it once it is no longer needed.

• Promotion

  Promotion compares two environments, lets you choose the rows to move, and writes them into the target as drafts or live versions in one transaction, with a record of who did it.

• Backups

  quillet backup writes a whole project, every version and every file, to an archive you keep, and quillet restore puts it back into empty environments exactly as it was.

• Search index

  The search index is what the delivery API's search route reads: it holds the text of every published, searchable document, follows each publish by itself, and is rebuilt by an owner when it has fallen out of step.

• Limits and quotas

  Every rate limit, size limit and batch size the CMS enforces is in one table here, with its default, the variable that changes it and what a caller sees when it is reached.
