Hi, We usually recommend to not use any other backend, except for file based backends, due to performance. Any other backend must be able to deliver the same lookup speed. We did a calculation at a customer and we saw hiera answering 8000 queries in less than 1 second using the yaml file backend.
With hiera5 you can of course write new backends. Please note that the hiera3 backends are not compatible with hiera5! https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/hiera_custom_backends.html <https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/hiera_custom_backends.html> Hth, Martin > On 14.
