Unfortunately, we don't document community backends/plugins in the official IBM documentation.
I can look into adding an entry to the Integrations page (it's meant for plugins, but I can see if it's possible.)
Alternatively, link to the relevant SDK on the Client libraries page.

Thank you for the feedback.
I didn’t understand the part about the official IBM documentation. I want to add one more section here: Backend Storage for Vault. The “Edit this page on GitHub” button leads to this repository. Also, I can see Community Supported Backends in this repository, for example, Cockroach.
Could you please advise me on the best course of action? It seems that the options you suggested are not quite what I’m looking for.

No worries. The link is a little misleading in that we do publish the docs out of this repo, but they're also official IBM docs rather than open source. I know we don't document community plugins on the official docs, but let me ask around to find out if there's a different policy for backend support. I'll try and get you an answer by next week.

@kprokopenko I wanted to follow-up and let you know I haven't forgotten about this. As far as I can tell, the pages we have currently are there because they were (at least originally) official partnerships. I'm trying to find someone who can confirm the state of things so I can determine an appropriate solution going forward.
