I am spinning up redash using helm on GKE with master/node version 1.12.10-gke.17 and istio 1.1.15
I use as database a GCP CloudSQL with postgres 9.6

When trying to execute the create_db script from the redash image (7.0.0.b18042) I encounter the following error

  (Background on this error at: http://sqlalche.me/e/e3q8)

Any suggestions?

edit:

The same error (with smaller stack trace) is reproduced when I exec into a container and try to manually connect to CloudSQL

>>> import psycopg2
>>> conn = psycopg2.connect(host="192.44.33.1",database="postgres", user="postgres", password="mypass")
