 ### External Dependencies:
 
-### Postgres database:
+mCaptcha currently implements support for the following database:
 
-The backend requires a Postgres database. We have
+1. Postgres
-compiletime SQL checks so without a database available, you won't be
+2. mariadb(MySQL)
-able to build the project.
+
+For development purposes, currently it is recommended to setup both
+databases as tests will break without it. In future, mechanisms will be
