I tried to deploy an application I currently have running on Digital Ocean App Platform (their Heroku competitor) also on fly.io. The app is using Python/Django and Postgres, ideal to test.

I must say the deployment experience was great, stuff just worked, brilliant.

One question in case someone tried that: How can you customize the postgres config? I want to enable pg_stat_statements, and one needs to add `shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_stat_statements'` to the config for this. One could also make this the default maybe? It is the default on most cloud providers (AWS RDS, Digital Ocean).

(Random person, don't actually know)

Check this out:

> Fly Postgres clusters are just regular Fly applications. If you need to customize Postgres in any way, you may fork this repo and deploy using normal Fly deployment procedures. You won't be able to use fly postgres commands with custom clusters. But it's a great way to experiment and potentially contribute back useful features!
