I use AWS (Route 53) as the hosting provider for my services. In this case, I also want to use an existing load balancer provided by AWS as a load balancer for my application. I need an A record in DNS, which is provided by Railway.app, in order to use the AWS load balancer.
Since I have many other projects within AWS, I do not want to switch to Cloudflare.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Best regards.

you are correct, you would need an A type as AWS route 53 does not support CNAMEs at the root.
so unless you want to exclusively use a subdomain, then I don't think this is possible rn

Thank you for your answer.
What is the best way to use a load balancer in this case?

Unfortunately we don't have docs yet on how to use AWS for load balancing.
Here are some docs on cloudflare so you can get a sense of how this works on another service: https://docs.railway.app/tutorials/proximity-steering
Thanks and sorry can't be more helpful,
