Hi! If https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-helm/blob/master/charts/datahub/values.yaml#L63 is set to false (it is false by default), it should disable the consumers as a stand alone pod.
If you want to remove consumers from the GMS pod as well, you can set some env variable, but this is not recommended.
MAE Consumers are necessary for any ingest not just kafka-based ingest

ah i see, thanks @early-lamp-41924
i see, with MCE and MAE consumer enabled i dont have to expose those services right? the only service that i need to expose is the datahub-frontend, is that correct?
e
Yes! We have also enabled forwarding from frontend to gms I believe, so you can ingest through the frontend
