This is 100% an ignorant question because i’m new to several of the technologies used here. Which container is the one that actually “accesses” the databases? And in a broader scope if you were to create a network diagram of the entire system for datahub, where does elastic search go in the “puzzle”?

datahub-gms talks to all of the backend data stores 🙂 • MySQL • Elastic • Kafka

Right I got that much. Which container actually accesses your organizations databases? I’m asking because we are looking at a non traditional deployment because of our network setup we want to set up basically 2 separate backends that would talk to A single gms and front end. One of these would connect to our on premise data stores and one would connect to our cloud services

Yep that's totally fine!
