Postgres winglib does not retain state in simulator after reloading

[staycoolcall911]

Use Case

Postgres db is currently losing its state when the simulator is reloaded. The use case here is to use postgres populated with some test data and avoiding having to re-populate the data frequently.

Proposed Solution

The Postgres Winglib sim implementation should save state to a local dir, similar to what was done for cloud.Buckets in #5164

Implementation Notes

See #5164 which added this capability to cloud.Buckets

I tested this locally - the state is retained as long as WING_ENABLE_INPLACE_UPDATES=true is enabled in your shell.

We have an issue for removing this feature flag here https://github.com/winglang/wing/issues/6185, so I'll mark this resolved - @staycoolcall911 feel free to reopen if needed

I expect to have it serialized between wing ribs and not just in hotreloading

I mean persistent between two new runs

You'll notice that I am using this flag in package.json

Ah, I misunderstood. Thanks @ekeren, makes sense 👍

I'll look into this, it feels like there should be some way to do this with the volumes option in sim.Container
