Dear Railway Support Team,
I am currently using a Dockerized PostGIS database for my project on Railway. While this setup works, I am considering transitioning to Railway's managed PostgreSQL service with the PostGIS extension.
Could you please provide information on the following:
-Does Railway's managed PostgreSQL service support the PostGIS extension?
-Are there any limitations or considerations when using PostGIS with the managed service?
-What are the benefits of using the managed service over a Dockerized PostGIS setup in terms of performance, backups, and maintenance?
Thank you for your assistance.

When you use a database on railway, its not managed by railway, just hosted by railway. It's self service for things like upgrades
Yeah but i mean what is the best option, going with the service Postgres and adding the extension, or using an docker image Postgis? Is is the same in term of performance or maintenance?
What is the best practice, right now my railway environment is slower than my heroku's. I thought i can come from this.
This is for a production environment

using the Postgis image is going to be the correct way forward here, there is no performance difference between Postgres or PostGIS, it all comes down to your application and configuration
