How can I make my Postgres schema automatically insert `UTC` time when using `defaultNow()`?

The example below is inserting the time using the timezone of my computer instead of UTC.

createdAt: timestamp('created_at').defaultNow(),

createdAt: timestamp('created_at').defaultNow(),

check the timezone of your postgres database make sure its set to utc

It's already set to UTC, but when a record gets inserted it is not, Drizzle is using the time set on my computer.

try adding { mode: 'date', withTimezone: true } to the timestamp column config (second arg after column name) to set timezone
