usually the strategies are focused on the cloud provider and since we want to keep it adaptable to multiple cloud providers it felt that using one of those strategies would not be the way to go.
another factor was the fact that we already use heavily postgres in all our projects so if that is available to us we should use that instead

we already have a presence system available for users in https://supabase.com/docs/guides/realtime/presence https://supabase.com/docs/guides/realtime/presence using phoenix presence
> Repo module and/or database_url rather than a keyword
Good call! we should have more flexible configuration options
