@Sam In the SSD assignment , for database integration we have to create our own database right? since there is a line in acceptance criteria which is confusing me - [] Use the appropriate SSD node to do the DB Ops.
Can you just clarify the database integration .

A database instance must be available for the application to connect to, which can be either a local or remote database such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB.
Neutrinos SSD does not provision or create a database server automatically. Instead, it integrates with an existing database setup. You are required to provide the necessary database connection information, including the credentials, connection URI, and database name, for the database you have created.
