What do you mean by drama to hook up external db? It’s almost always just a one liner: let conn = db.newConn(host, port, …).

One line _after_ you figure out the myriad of database libraries available, half of which are abandoned, a quarter which are little toys, and if you're lucky one that has a core dev who is being paid real money to support and maintain the library.

Ah yes, that's fair. Finding the good library to rely on can be really time consuming.
