Provision a managed Postgres instance for this service in the existing infrastructure code, sized for near-zero traffic, with the connection string stored as a secret the service reads at startup. Add a docker-compose file that runs a local Postgres for development, a database client with a connection pool in the service and a /health check that pings the database. Record the instance and the local setup in the database decision record.
