database server is a critical machine we don't want to grant SSH
access to lowly developers. The script is very fast because the
database is small (for now).
- Solution: Instead of launching the script via SSH shell we can
provide an HTTP endpoint to perform the task.

- Problem/Motivation: /tmp/backup_db.log keeps growing. It's about 100MB now.
The users are fed up already. We need a way to be more selective in the data
we dump.
- pre-Kapow! solution: SSH into the host, and then find a way to extract the
required data from the log file. It would entitle using some combination of
