Hi people!

My questions are basic, but I prefer to ask them, to have more context and
to have a better understanding of your requirement:

- Why you need a database? What are the use cases?

I could imagine a game, based on chat messages, that don't need a database;
it can distributed the message to the clients, and it can have an in-memory
state of the game (one server instance per game, sticky assigned at begin
of the game, maybe using a hash mapping from game id to server id to manage
the game; I presume the servers can be identified... etc... etc...).

Do you need a database to keep the CURRENT game state? To save the game
history AT END? To keep the score of the players?
