The storage cutover protects migration speed or preserves confidence in every saved moderation setting.
Fast migration keeps developers inside the platform, while cautious verification protects community state that moderators cannot reconstruct.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I saved the new rule twice, then a moderator asked why the old one was back this morning.”
Cyrus Nasser · Independent App Developer
Maintains a moderation app installed across several communities and is porting its saved rules onto Devvit.
What is at stake
Saved moderation settings intermittently return old values after apps confirm a write. You must weigh migration speed against a one-way move of community state.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- migration deadline vs durable state integrity
- developer continuity vs R2 reliability
- sampled evidence vs irreversible cutover
- contract consistency vs backend containment
Why Reddit
Devvit storage underpins the moderation and utility apps arriving as public API access closes.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
