Additional database backends #1

At the day job, we are making heavy use of databases such as postgres, which might be a nice additional database backend. Would that be feasible with respect to caching?

Thanks for the idea Eric :)

The challenge right now is to find a way to serialize/unserialize R objects and write then to the DB 🤔

It's done

via RDS in mongo : https://github.com/ThinkR-open/bank/blob/main/R/mongo.R#L63
via object_to_bin in redis : https://github.com/ThinkR-open/bank/blob/main/R/redis.R#L43

By any chance is this something you have done before?
