Question
How do I use Timescale DB with Managed Postgres in App Platform
I was reading the tutorial on how to download timescaleDB on Ubuntu, but it did not seem to provide instructions on how to use on a Postgres managed database that is spun up from the app platform PaaS. Is this possible or do I need to setup a managed DB external to app platform ie. on TimescaleDB website and allow a connection to that via my app?
