    feat: simplify sequelize usage (#747)

    Rely on `dotenv` to load the environment variable `DATABASE_URI` to make it available for the sequelize configuration.
    On this way, there is no need to export the variable value manually.

 This project consciously did not define a `config/config.json` for sequelize.
 Instead, it relies on the `url` property inside `.sequilizerc`.
 In turn, the `url` takes `process.env.DATABASE_URI` as a value.
-This means that `DATABASE_URI` needs to previously be set as an environment variable, sadly manually.

-To be able to run any `sequelize-cli` commands, first you need to execute:

-If you are using the default values, as created via `pnpm start-db`, it narrows it down to this:
-
-```
-export DATABASE_URI=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres
