Sorry for my noob question, but I want to know where exactly appwrite store all data, I see many services and many databases in docker compose, but where store appwrite all data, in MariaDB?, if thats true is better idea to have and external instance of MariaDB, I think, just for the question @Arkany tell, it's a way to keep data safe. Could the new upadates change that mariaDB for Postgres? it more robust I think
