Allow Cloud users to setup Postgres logical replication

Hello!

We are users of the Cloud hosted version, and we would want to replicate the Retool Database using CDC - so logical replication. For that we would need to increase wal_level to logical and to create a replication slot, which we currently are unable to without admin access.
Is it possible to do so? Self-hosted users for instance have that ability.

Hey @assaadhjb! Thanks for reaching out.

This isn't currently possible for any database provisioned by Retool. In order to maintain a healthy cloud infrastructure for all our users, the resources we provide often come with certain limitations - including storage caps, rate limitations, and permissions. Users running self-hosted instances provision their own infrastructure and thus have full access.

We generally recommend that Cloud users not rely upon RetoolDB as a production solution. If you need increased capabilities and/or permissions, you should look into provisioning an external database and connecting it to Retool, instead. :+1:
