Railway · verified backups
Railway makes deploys easy. Make un-deleting easy too.
Railway volumes have snapshots, but a snapshot on the same platform is a convenience, not a disaster plan. Firedrill keeps encrypted, independent, restore-tested copies of your Railway Postgres.
Snapshots aren't logical backups
Volume snapshots restore a disk. They can't be selectively restored, inspected, or loaded into a different provider. A pg_dump archive can — and Firedrill proves each one loads.
Deleting a service deletes its data
One wrong click on a service or environment and the volume goes with it. An off-platform copy is the difference between an incident and an anecdote.
Compliance wants evidence, not vibes
SOC 2 auditors ask how you know backups work. Firedrill answers with per-backup verification reports: restore exit, schema hash, row counts, index integrity, sample queries, recovery time.
Frequently asked
How does Firedrill connect to Railway?
Via the public TCP proxy connection string from your Postgres service variables, using a read-only role you create with our SQL snippet.
Does it support Railway's private networking?
V1 uses the public proxy with TLS. Private-network peering is on the roadmap for larger deployments.
