Hi, This particular hiera backend, from what I understand, is extracting values from puppetdb "on the fly", so you don't have to put any values in hiera yaml/json files save for a relevant puppetdb query. This would centralize data gathering and localize it to a "data component". Otherwise you end up with puppetdb queries within your manifests which could be not what you want. Then again, this really depends on your preferences. Good luck and tell us if this worked for you.
