@merklefabian using Crux-jdbc seems fairly straightforward approach for a crux app to use Heroku Postgres (I have not tried this though) https://opencrux.com/reference/jdbc.html
There also 3rd party libraries to use Redis with Crux instead of rocksdb

@jr0cket Thanks for your answer, John. That issue does not look ideal.
