Description

In postgres-nio, we want to eventually move to using this repository in CI.
How would we be able to run a Postgres service like this, which we currently have?

I'm not certain what we should do, but there is also the possibility of having the option to manually install certain services.
We can run a Postgres database in Docker in the CI, and attach it to the proper network so it's discoverable by apps.

Research direction

Start by comparing the linked postgres-nio .github/workflows/test.yml service configuration at line 80 with the workflow capabilities in this repository. Determine whether the requested PostgreSQL service should be supported directly or documented as a manual installation option; done means the chosen approach is clearly specified and usable in CI.
