About

Dumpling is built and run by Siddhu, an independent developer based in India. It is a one-person business, and it is intended to stay small: one server, one database, no investors, no growth targets that would change how it treats your data.

Why it exists

Most hosted databases on hobby and starter tiers have no off-platform backup, and the cron job people write instead is the kind of thing nobody notices has stopped working. Dumpling is the smallest honest fix: a scheduled pg_dump or mysqldump into a bucket you own, with an alert when it does not happen.

What happens if Dumpling disappears

Nothing happens to your backups. They are in your bucket, in the native pg_dump and mysqldump formats, restorable with the standard tools and without any part of Dumpling. Your database credentials are in your own provider; to be safe, delete the read-only user you created for us. There is no proprietary format, no export step, and nothing to migrate.
