My application functionality relays on custom postgres extension pg_similarity, while I was testing out GCP they were providing support for this extension and I enabled it just as usual with CREATE EXTENSION pg_similarity; but in DO managed db does not provide support for this extension. Is there a way I can install it manually? And if not, what would be the workaround for this?

Hi @arthurmorel,
You can check the support extensions of the Managed Database PostgreSQL service here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/postgresql/details/supported-extensions/
if the extension is not a part of this list, you can suggest it as an idea to be added here:
Hope that helps! - KFSys.
