I feel like the word "database" is throwing people off because they're comparing it with something like MySql/Postgres, when this seems slightly more complex than a k/v store stored to a file, with some other indexing, where data integrity is a low priority. That shouldn't take too much time and should be fairly isolated on the tech side so little involvement from product/project managers.
