Migrate Supabase Storage bucket: Generated downloads

Move object storage from Supabase Storage bucket to Ample, one component at a time. Destination verified on Ample: an export query rendered to a CSV artifact stored with metadata in a private bucket and returned only to an authorized caller (401 without token, export=ok rows=3). Source procedure: Inventory objects through the Supabase Storage API or dashboard. Not migrated automatically: Supabase Storage RLS policies, signed URLs, and image transformations are not migrated; enforce authorization in the app and stream private objects through it. Cutover: Switch the app's S3_* environment to the Ample bucket with a redeploy, verify reads and writes, keep Supabase Storage read-only until confirmed. Rollback: keep the source untouched until you confirm; nothing at the source is changed or deleted by this guide.

Workflow Steps

  1. Inventory the source
    List what Supabase Storage bucket provides beyond the component you are moving. Out of scope here: Supabase Storage RLS policies, signed URLs, and image transformations are not migrated; enforce authorization in the app and stream private objects through it.

  2. Source step 1
    Inventory objects through the Supabase Storage API or dashboard.

  3. Source step 2
    Copy objects with rclone sync from the Supabase S3-compatible endpoint (or a scripted download) to the Ample bucket endpoint using the issued credentials.

  4. Source step 3
    Verify a sample of objects by size and checksum after the copy.

  5. Create the destination bucket and copy
    Create the bucket, copy with rclone or the S3 CLI in path-style mode using the issued credentials, then pass the credentials to the app as encrypted S3_* variables.

    ample bucket create --name <bucket_name>
    
  6. Validate before cutover
    Run the app's own checks and, for data, compare counts and checksums; the example checks are the pattern self-tests (/p/generated-downloads).

  7. Cut over
    Switch the app's S3_* environment to the Ample bucket with a redeploy, verify reads and writes, keep Supabase Storage read-only until confirmed.

  8. Rollback
    Point DNS or configuration back to the source. The source was never modified; deletion is a separate, user-executed step after validation.
