What it does

Monitors whether your Dropbox artifact store is over its storage budget and pairs the alarm with a safety check. It sums total artifact size, compares against a configured budget, and when exceeded it first performs a restore drill on the latest release artifact, then ranks the oldest superseded builds as deletion recommendations. The output is a report, not an automatic deletion.

When to use it

Use it when you want early warning before artifact storage costs spike, plus confidence that the build you'd actually need to restore is healthy before you start trimming. Run it manually anytime or on a recurring cadence.

How it works

  1. 1A manual trigger or schedule starts the run.
  2. 2List Dropbox artifacts and sum total size.
  3. 3Branch: if under budget, send an all-clear and stop; if over, continue.
  4. 4Run a restore drill, downloading and validating the latest release artifact from Dropbox.
  5. 5Rank superseded builds by age and size to produce deletion recommendations.
  6. 6Post a Slack report with usage versus budget, drill result, and the recommended builds to remove.
