Wait 5 minutes for postgres to be ready

Having issues with postgres being marked as ready before it is actually ready. Trying to find a more graceful solution to this.

I don't believe this will work

Anything in a .ts file only generates the tf.out file. Then the tf.out file is applied by terraform.

My understanding is this will just add a 5 minute delay in the tf.out file being generated, with no affect on the actual tf apply that creates resources from the tf.out.

Other ideas would be, maybe create a helm chart that's entire job is just to take a while to install? That way you could set up a dependency that creates a 5 minute delay incidentally.

delay = install5MinDelay([dependsOn: postgres])
installUrbanOS[(dependsOn: [..., delay])

// by depending on the delay, urbanos install is delayed
// this is a pretty gross idea tho

The "proper" way would be to make the services that depend on postgres, able to attempt reconnecting themselves, but I understand how that would be a larger set of work.
