Creating a cloud-agnostic database backup solution

A major player in the german IT business offered managed database solutions for his customers. The solutions were based on managed database services of the big cloud providers. Within these managed databases, logical databases were created. We built a solution to back up each logical database individually, as the managed services only currently backup data on the instance level. To keep the solution cloud-agnostic, we only used low level services as a common denominator of each major cloud provider and wrote a command line tool, which does the actual backup. We used AWS CDK to create our PoC infrastructure.
