## Documentation

### Overview
The template uses node-cron or Railway cron, written in TypeScript to dump your MongoDB data to a file and then upload the file to S3.

### Highlights
Configurable backup schedule: By default, the cron runs at 00 AM every day but is configurable via the `BACKUP_CRON_SCHEDULE` environment variable.

Support for custom buckets: The script also supports using a `AWS_S3_ENDPOINT` environment variable to use any S3 compliant storage bucket.

### Configuration
- `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`
- `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`
- `AWS_S3_BUCKET`
- `AWS_S3_REGION`
- `BACKUP_MONGO_URI`
- `BACKUP_CRON_SCHEDULE`
- `AWS_S3_ENDPOINT`
