Subject: [PATCH] fix(server): server should die if unable to connect to db
 (#1265)

## Problem

something in me wanted to check if we indeed exit if we fail to connect to db, and the answer is... no


[node.js](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v18.x/api/process.html#processexitcode_1) states that
> A number which will be the process exit code, when the process either exits gracefully, or is exited via process.exit() without specifying a code.

so it does not actually do the exiting, which leads to silent failures
