Description

The three external-database guides (MongoDB, PostgreSQL/RDS, Redis) only document the connection URL variables for Kubernetes/Helm installs. With the bundled subcharts left enabled, the chart keeps deploying the embedded database pods, and the Appsmith pod's init containers gate startup on those unused internal databases — the init containers check only the *.enabled flags, not the external URLs.

This adds mongodb.enabled: false / postgresql.enabled: false / redis.enabled: false to each guide's Kubernetes snippet.

Merge dependency

⚠️ Hold until Helm chart 3.9.1 (appsmithorg/appsmith#42076) is released. The PostgreSQL snippet relies on the chart inferring APPSMITH_KEYCLOAK_DB_DRIVER from the external URL, which lands in that version. On chart ≤ 3.9.0, following this guide without an explicit APPSMITH_KEYCLOAK_DB_DRIVER: postgresql sends Keycloak to embedded H2 silently.
