It seems postgresql has an issue with the database name imply_manager. Try using imply-manager as here, and update values.yaml to use imply-manager.

thanks for replying @Ben Krug. So I can get it to work with self hosted postgres 12, but not with hosted postgres 14. The imply manager be process will connect to hosted postgres 14 and create the databases resources if they don't exist, but the front end process seems to also need access to the database and its failing with this error above. I think it might be fixable if I could update the postgres driver for the front end... but I am not sure how to do that. I don't even know what sort of a program...

/opt/imply/manager/bin/manager-linux

is... some kind of compiled nodejs program judging by the error. Any ideas what to do?

I'm not sure. Did you try with renaming imply-manager instead of imply_manager for the database (as in the doc)?
