Storage
An app's storage defines what are the different ways in which data is stored in the app, including databases, tape storage, local file system, in-memory caches, cloud storages like AWS S3 etc.
Syntax overview
Imagine's storage domain currently supports a single database storage using sqlite3, mysql or postgresql, and this is governed by a simple setting.

In upcoming versions, we will allow developers to represent more aspects of storage such as multilple databases for storage, and different types of storage like tape storage, local file system, in-memory caches and cloud storages like AWS S3 etc.
