Ah, I see. I didn't know that.

It should be possible with guile-dbi and guile-dbd-*, which abstract
away the database server in use. But, cuirass switched from
guile-sqlite3 to guile-squee, both of which are database server
specific.

There's still the complexity of backing up a PostgreSQL
database---something IIUC the Guix service does not help with, and
probably cannot help with. Then, there's the added complexity of
maintaining database users and authentication. All this is very overkill
for a small CI system.
Cheers!
