Add details for the new use-cases for the STATIC database in the Platform Team

Rigerta Demiri requested to merge update-static-db-section-of-the-handbook into master

Why is this change being made?

We have had a discussion in the Data Platform Weekly team meeting and reached the conclusion that the STATIC database section in the Handbook is not clear enough and does not represent all of the use-cases for the database.

In this MR we are adding context to the usage of this database in the Platform Team and two examples.
