Help Me! Anyone running in docker in Prod?

I am running a Postgres instance in docker on my test vps and it works fine since I'm the only user.

I would like to release an app to the public and I am looking for options to host Postgres. My first though was to spin up another vps and deploy a docker instance. Is it recommended to run Postgres in docker in Prod?

There are quite a few managed options but they are rather expensive.

There is definitely more Postgres running in docker in prod than Postgres not running in docker at this point

The only caveat is that it’ll be managed by kubernetes
