I'm getting my ducks are in a row. I'm putting my chickadees in a column. The squirrels are stored in SQLite. I'm getting my chipmunks in Redis. I've been getting my crows into Postgres. I'm storing my pigeons in Mongo. There are raccoons in YAML? Who put raccoons in YAML? We've got snakes in an OracleDB? Why do we have either of those? Legacy acquisition? We have cockroaches in... well at least that makes sense. You say they're load-bearing cockroaches? And... is this an FTP server for ants?
