Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Canonical shelf is Build→backend because solo builders adopt this skill when wiring the production-grade Postgres layer for a SaaS or API. Azure Postgres is the managed relational backend choice during implementation, before you harden ship and operate runbooks.
Where it fits
Stand up Azure Postgres and wire connection settings into your API service.
Validate production database SKU, firewall rules, and SSL before first deploy.
Adjust backup retention or scaling with agent steps grounded in Azure Postgres docs.
How it compares
Azure-managed Postgres skill package—not a generic SQL schema generator or self-hosted Docker Postgres recipe.
