When launching an app, selecting the Fly Postgres option for database does nothing

[ftjuice]

When selecting Flyway Postgres during launch for an app, I expect another machine with Postgres to be created, but nothing shows up.

Fly Postgres is also an app. When you launch a new app and choose to add a Fly Postgres database, you get 2 apps:

• the app you launched
• a separate Fly Postgres app that is your Postgres cluster (with the name you gave it when you selected the Fly Postgres option on the Launch page)

Fly Launch also attaches your app to the Postgres app.

You should be able to see both apps in your dashboard.

You should also check the fly launch output in your terminal for important info about your Postgres app, like the connection string and credentials.
