How to setup a practically free CDN using Backblaze B2 and Cloudflare

⚠️ Note 2023-01-21
Some things have changed since I originally wrote this in 2016. I have updated a few minor details, and the advice is still broadly the same, but there are some new Cloudflare features you can (and should) take advantage of. In particular, pay attention to Trevor Stevens' comment here from 22 January 2022, and Matt Stenson's useful caching advice. In addition, Backblaze, with whom Cloudflare are a Bandwidth Alliance partner, have published their own guide detailing how to use Cloudflare's Web Workers to cache content from B2 private buckets. That is worth reading,

Renaming table in Ecto migration

I recently wanted to rename a model and its postgres table in a Phoenix app. Renaming the table was simple and documented, but the table also had constraints, sequences, and indexes that needed to be updated in order for the Ecto model to be able to rely on default naming conventions. I couldn't find any examples of what this would look like but was eventually able to figure it out. For anyone else in the same situation, hopefully this example helps.

In the example below, I'm renaming the Permission model to Membership. This model belongs to a User and an Account, so it has foreign key constraints that need to be renamed.

defmodule MyApp.Repo.Migrations.RenamePermissionsToMemberships do
  use Ecto.Migration

	alias MyApp.UserSocket, as: MyAppUserSocket
	alias MyOtherApp.Endpoint, as: MyOtherAppEndpoint
	alias MyOtherApp.UserSocket, as: MyOtherAppUserSocket

	alias Phoenix.LiveReloader.Socket, as: LiveReloadSocket
