Deploy and Host Function Database Migrator - Postgres on Railway
Function Database Migrator - Postgres is a lightweight serverless utility function that migrates the contents of one PostgreSQL database to another by simply providing the source and destination connection strings. It's built for quick, repeatable migrations and works seamlessly in Railway Functions using Bun and PostgreSQL.
About Hosting Function Database Migrator - Postgres
Hosting Function Database Migrator - Postgres on Railway allows you to trigger database migrations via a Railway Function with minimal setup. The function connects to the source PostgreSQL instance, reads all public tables and their data, creates the necessary tables in the destination database (if they don’t exist), and transfers all rows with basic column structure preservation. All data is inserted as text for simplicity and compatibility. Railway handles the infrastructure, so you're free to focus on your schema, not your servers.
Common Use Cases
- Quickly duplicating a staging database into production or vice versa.
- Migrating data between two PostgreSQL environments in CI/CD pipelines.
- Performing cold backup copies before schema-altering operations.
Dependencies for Function Database Migrator - Postgres Hosting
- Railway project with Function support enabled.
- Bun runtime for executing the migration logic.
