Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is a bit challenging to find and set up good trial SQL server-oriented database for data visualization purposes. I don't usually keep a server with PostgreSQL running and don't want to worry about its security.
It might be a convenient feature to encourage exploration if, like the Hasura.io setup, ObservableHQ will help you generate and authenticate to a blank Heroku Hobby Postgres database using OAuth
Describe the solution you'd like
The Heroku app repository it creates is completely blank, it seems to just run the postgres plugin creation and take note of the authentication details for use in the platform. The plugin may not even go to sleep as a Hobby-tier heroku app would, not sure.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Laying out the steps to connect to a Heroku database in a tutorial would be sufficient for me at my level of familiarity/interest in this.
Additional context
I'm excited about the geospatial queries on PostGIS which can easily be enabled in Heroku postgresql (albeit an old version)
