Wondering how db connection is established?

Hey @frol , Great work on this prokect! A quick question regarding using a different db like: postgresql After I set postgres connection url, example api server doesn’t recognize it (I got some error, and search results suggest db is not connected). (it seems it only works with sqlite). I went on to try to find out why, I found this piece:

 def init_app(self, app):
      super(SQLAlchemy, self).init_app(app)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
      
      database_uri = app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI']                                                                                                                      
      if database_uri and database_uri.startswith('sqlite:'):                                                                                                                  
            self.event.listens_for(engine.Engine, "connect")(set_sqlite_pragma)                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                                                                   
      app.extensions['migrate'] = AlembicDatabaseMigrationConfig(self, compare_type=True)

in app/extensions/flask_sqlalchemy/__init__.py is doing the db initialization part. However, it is not using create_engine from sqlalchemy , and it is also not setting listening for posgresql db is provided in environment. So I conclude posgresql is not supported yet.

Maybe I am misunderstanding, can you comment on how postgresql is connected is in production mode ?

I cannot access this postgresql from my local machine:

sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (psycopg2.OperationalError) could not connect to server: Connection timed out
        Is the server running on host "whut2eat-api-postgresql-us-west-1.cxclxg5j1i7m.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com" (35.164.66.245) and accepting
        TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

psql client says the same thing, so it has nothing to do with SQLAlchemy.
