Database connection

[ben8622]

We need to ensure our backend can successfully connect to our database and be queried.

Django offers support for this out of the box, this is the recommended way to accomplish this to avoid vulnerabilities such as SQL injections if we were to create our own service. You can find the docs here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/databases/ .

To prove that this issue is accomplished create a REST endpoint that returns some JSON string with identifying information of our database. What that information is, is up to you.
