Description
Following on from the work in https://github.com/LukePrior/nbn-upgrade-map/issues/255
Ideas for reducing the size of the DB. Perhaps it's time to consider:
- using something more lightweight than postgresql: maybe sqllite, compressed and readonly
- maybe stored in filesystem rather than docker image
- preprocessing the DB into a format more specific to the application (there's only 1 main query)

Research direction
Start by reading issue #255 and the current database setup to understand the existing PostgreSQL deployment and its size. Compare the proposed SQLite, compressed read-only, filesystem, and application-specific formats; done means agreeing on and documenting a smaller approach that still supports the main query.
