         | Honest question. Do you recommend a "devcontainer" for this?
         | Like a Docker image that maybe has both postgres and your
         | development environment preinstalled inside? Or do you
         | generally like to use and reference an external docker
         | container instance (with postgres installed) and connect to it
         | from your devcontainer instance?

           | What I'd really like is an image that mirrors extensions
           | available on AWS Aurora. Supabase's is the only that has some
           | parity as far as I know

           | So if I'm building Python application with
           | Prometheus/RabbitMQ/PostGres that's used as part of my
           | application, My docker compose has network, those 3 services
           | + Python Dev Container and I just reference the hostname of
           | the service in my Python application config (ENV VARS).
