[FEAT]: add PostgreSQL storage backend #107

Description

@siddharth3690

Summary

The README mentions that the storage backend currently uses SQLite and that PostgreSQL support is "coming soon". I couldn't find an open issue tracking this work, so opening one to discuss scope and subtasks.

Motivation

  • PostgreSQL is more suitable for production deployments than SQLite in many environments.
  • Having a clear tracking issue can help contributors (like me) pick up well-scoped pieces of the work.

Initial thoughts / possible subtasks

  • Define configuration flags for selecting the DB backend (SQLite vs PostgreSQL).
  • Model schema and migrations for PostgreSQL.
  • Abstract storage layer so both SQLite and PostgreSQL implementations share a common interface.
  • Add basic tests that run against PostgreSQL (maybe via Docker in CI).
  • Update documentation to show how to configure and run CtrlB Control Plane with PostgreSQL.

Questions

  • Do you already have an internal design for the PostgreSQL backend?
  • Would you be open to community contributions on smaller parts ?

I'm a student contributor and I might not be able to implement the entire feature, but I'd like to help with some pieces if possible.
