You want to look at acra which intercepts your postgres calls and adds encryption.

So I've seen something like this before i.e. https://github.com/cossacklabs/acra
So for me everything has to be infrastructures as code. I don't want to log into a UI and start configuring connections etc.
Also not keen on giving you production accesses to my databases, but maybe I misunderstood your implementation.
So I like the idea of a docker container that does this as a proxy.
It's a tough market you're going into, $395 per database is a big ask.
