    What? No it doesn’t… You could still have just one postgresql database if you wanted just one. It is a big antithetical to microservices, but there is no reason you can do it.

      But then you can’t just use the containers provided by the service developers and have to figure out how to redo their container which in the end is more work than just run it manually.

          Well, yes that’s best practice. That doesn’t mean you have to do it that way.

        You absolutely can. It’s not like the developers of postgresql maintain a version of postgresql that only allows one db. You can connect to that db and add however many things you want to it.
