If I read the docs right, if a database needs to keep data permanently, /srv seems to be an ideal place. It's not restricted to static files being served on a network, just where data (regardless of format or transformations) should be stored.

More abstractly, if any daemon, service, or file share needs to store any data that is read/written to/from a network, that data should be in /srv. Probably.
