Set up an external database with Continuous Delivery (CD)

By default CD installs and manages its own PostgreSQL database in a container, managed mode. Instead, you can point CD at a PostgreSQL instance you provide and operate yourself, external mode. In external mode CD does not run a database container, does not create your schema or roles, and does not back up, restore, or perform maintenance on your database; those remain your responsibility.
