Recommended PostgreSQL engine version for Retool Self-Hosted?

Hey Retool team, can we get this section of the document updated?: Configure and migrate to an external database | Retool Docs

It is currently recommending PostgreSQL v13.7. This version is very old, and in fact, AWS RDS has deprecated this version.

I need to get it upgraded ASAP. What version you do you recommend?

i've done multiple deloyments for cloud and self hosted, I'd recommend you use any version greater than 15.13, hope this helps!

Consider 13.7 as the fully tested and rock solid version that's recommended and completely supported - having said that, customers are using 14, 15, 16 & 17 successfully without any issues.

I think the bottom line is that 13.7 is considered the minimum viable version and thus the one that we have historically recommended, but there's no significant reason not to upgrade. Some of our newer deployment templates suggest 16.8, for example.

Thank you for the approval everyone, I will upgrade to latest PostgreSQL version ASAP
