It's just a matter of checking how cuirass does it and do the same in guix-forge. > Laminar stands out from other CI systems in that it is not a monolith > and is very easy to interface with external tools.

The main > blocker is the postgres database. Right. Postgresql makes sens for huge CI like ci.guix.gnu.org I guess. However it would indeed be nice to have the option to select sqlite as the DBMS. For the Guile portion that should be trivial I think. The difficult part is probably within the SQL schema, if Postgresql' extensions were used. Maybe the solution would be to use a object-relational mapper and generate the schemas on the fly depending on the DBMS. I think that `guile-dbi` does just that.
