If all you care about is the forking aspect we use DBLab Engine pretty effectively: https://postgres.ai/products/dblab_engine . Gets deployed within your own infrastructure.

Tested Meilisearch recently, was a great experience, getting a multi-index search running in our frontend was very easy. Just wish they had an Australian instance, the closest is Singapore :(
