Re:AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana by viraptor on Friday January 22, 2021 @12:15AM (#25868568)
If you're using a database that's not tightly integrated into your project and distributed with it, I don't believe you'd have to open your project. The API is the boundary:

- your project running on Linux kernel doesn't become GPL

- your project talking to MySQL doesn't become GPL and one talking to mongodb pre-2018 doesn't become AGPL

- your project talking to elasticsearch wouldn't become AGPL

(However AWS search offering... could?)
