To help out everyone else, this is designed for those working on PostgreSQL development. For anyone who is just using PostGres as part of their application, use normal PostGreSQL container.
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?
pg-dev-container is a ready-to-run VS Code development container that includes:
- PostgreSQL source code and build tools
- A debug build of PostgreSQL
- A pre-configured debugger for step-through debugging
- Sample extensions
- A brief guide on how to compile, install, and debug a simple extension
It's an interesting idea but it seems like a lot of resources will get tied up on my dev box.

You can set it up with docker compose and put the container on the same network of your dev env, and you are good to go.
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
