# Deploy and Host mongodb S3 Backup on Railway

mongodb S3 Backup is an automated backup service that creates compressed backups of MongoDB databases and stores them securely on S3-compatible storage with configurable retention policies and scheduling.

## About Hosting mongodb S3 Backup

Deploying mongodb S3 Backup on Railway provides a reliable, serverless solution for automated database backups. The service connects to your MongoDB instance, creates compressed JSON backups of all databases and collections (including indexes), uploads them to S3-compatible storage, and manages retention automatically. Railway's infrastructure ensures your backup service runs continuously with minimal configuration. The application uses environment variables for secure credential management and supports custom cron scheduling for backup frequency. Railway's built-in monitoring and logging help track backup operations and troubleshoot any issues that arise.

## Common Use Cases

- Automated daily/weekly backups of production MongoDB databases
- Disaster recovery backup strategy with S3 cross-region replication
- Development environment data snapshots before major deployments

## Dependencies for mongodb S3 Backup Hosting

- MongoDB database (local or hosted instance)
- S3-compatible storage service (AWS S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, etc.)

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Bun Runtime](https://bun.sh) - Fast JavaScript runtime and package manager
- [Railway CLI](https://docs.railway.app/deploy/cli) - For deployment management
- [MongoDB Connection String](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/connection-string/) - Database access credentials

### Implementation Details

The service requires these environment variables:

```bash
MONGODB_URI="mongodb://user:password@host:port/database"
S3_REGION="your-region"
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-access-key"
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your-secret-key"
S3_BUCKET="your-bucket-name"
S3_KEY_PATH="backup-folder"  # Optional
S3_ENDPOINT="https://your-s3-endpoint.com"  # Optional for custom S3
CRON_SCHEDULE="0 2 * * *"  # Optional: Daily at 2 AM
RETENTION_DAYS="30"  # Optional: Delete backups older than 30 days
```
