The idea of this PR is to have the end-to-end skeleton for everything related to the Database. We will need to tweak a bunch of things as we go, but this can serve as a good starting point.

• We are using Drizzle (Typescript ORM) & Drizzle kit (cli)
• We are using the pg driver (Postgres). There is also a Vercel pg connector.. not sure what the benefits are, but sticking with just pg that will work for our local docker + vercel.
• Adding a docker-compose file to easily spin up a local Postgres database
• Database config can be found in services/database/config. Current schema is just a test.
• Went with the repository pattern as a way of abstracting of the data layer on the database (e.g. services/database/repositories/submissions.ts)
• drizzle.config.ts is for drizzle-kit (push, migrate, etc). See readme for more info. Since it's not boostraped by NextJS, we need to manually add the .env.vars
• For now, created .env.development with required data. You can override it with .env.local (except in the cases where we are loading .env.development directly).
• Create a seed.ts file. See README for more info.
• yarn drizzle-kit studio for a nice UI
• Created a couple of (temporary) API route to test (we can remove them whenever)
  • I like the API routes in general, but in some cases we can do server components directly (not a fan of nextjs server actions sometimes tho)
• Added some (database) instructions in the Readme

I think next steps could be to start creating some of the workflows (hackathon registration, submit project, admin view/vote, etc) that use the database, so we can iterate on the schema as we go.
