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?

Hello,
There has been a similar question asked here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/timescale-db-in-managed-pgsql
Basically, TimescaleDB is available as a PostgreSQL extension on DigitalOcean Managed database cluster.
You can install supported extensions with psql’s CREATE EXTENSION command:
CREATE EXTENSION <extension-name>;
You can also see a list of available extensions from the psql’s command line, use the following command:
SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions;
For more information on Postgres extension and limitations, please check the below URL:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/postgresql/details/supported-extensions/
Hope that this helps.
Regards,
Bobby
