A development team is deploying Backstage to production. They have built the frontend bundle and the backend bundle using `yarn build`. The frontend bundle is placed on a CDN, and the backend is deployed as a container. When users access the CDN URL, the frontend loads but API calls to the backend fail with a 404 error. What is the most likely cause?

The backend service is not exposed at the correct base URL that the frontend expects.

The CDN does not support HTTPS, so the browser blocks the API calls.

The backend container is missing the frontend static files.

The frontend bundle was built without the `--production` flag.

A company is deploying Backstage to production. They want to ensure they can recover from a database failure. They have a managed PostgreSQL database. What is the most appropriate backup strategy?

Use the Backstage CLI to export the database to a JSON file.

Enable automated backups on the managed database service and test restoration regularly.

Copy the Backstage configuration files to a backup server daily.

Take a snapshot of the backend container's filesystem.

What is the purpose of a disaster recovery plan for Backstage?

To restore service quickly after a major failure

To prevent any failure from occurring

Which type of service is best suited to serve the Backstage frontend static assets?

Which deployment strategy helps minimize downtime during a Backstage upgrade?

Upgrade the database first, then the application

Stop all instances, upgrade, then start

Delete the old deployment and create a new one
