Create single node Postgres databases from the CLI

You can now create single node Postgres databases using the CLI.

Single node databases come with a single primary and no replicas, making them a cost-effective option for development or production workloads that don't require high availability.

To create a single node database, use the --replicas flag with the database create command:

pscale database create <database-name> --engine postgresql --replicas 0
