Hi,

I'm working on an app that requires geohashing. I currently use POSTGIS in my development environment. However the default postgresdb instance on Railway does not have this extension available. I'm also currently using AWS and would love to close my account on there and this is the only blocker remaining.

You can easily deploy a PostGIS database, from within your project click the + New button -> templates -> PostGIS

It's all good, this isn't obvious to users by default. How could we improve the experience?

The service window hides the + New button, which reduces visibility.

I feel like I just failed to understand this could be something that's found on templates. I've been right clicking this whole time too, I didn't know there was a + New button til this thread.
