Migrate Postgres to GCP

Hey there, we need to migrate our database layer to Google Cloud Platform. I have found no documentation on how to do this. How would I pg_dump and pg_restore the Timescale db into google cloud platform?

You should be able to use railway run pg_dump -d railway to run your local pg_dump with Railway's environment variables.

Ok, am I able to safely remove the timescale extention using the drop command, or should I do something else ? @aleks

I'm afraid the above command is where my knowledge ends on this subject, as I've never had experience with Timescale and I'm not on the Railway team and don't know what's safe to do with the database. If you're on the team plan, you should be able to link your account to Discord for a direct support channel with the team.
