I have an RDS database which have nightly snapshots. We have copied these snapshots to s3. What is the best way to get my rds database copied over to railway?

is this going to be an RDS database for postgres?

I don't know what a snapshot refers to in aws land, but if it's just a managed postgres database, could you not use pgdump and pgrestore?

That could be an option. I just thought maybe railway has some easy mechanism for syncing RDS dbs

nope, databases on railway are unmanaged after all
