I'm sure that there can be some very interesting discussions about code-in-database and interop with tooling!

I'm not entirely sure if these two are tightly bound. For example `ucm` uses a SQLite database, but Share(their Github equivalent) uses PostgreSQL afaik.

I believe a previous iteration used Git as the backing store but they didn't go through with it. I'm not sure about this tho.
