"""
The storage layer is split up into multiple parts to allow Synapse to run
against different configurations of databases (e.g. single or multiple
databases). The `DatabasePool` class represents connections to a single physical
database. The `databases` are classes that talk directly to a `DatabasePool`
instance and have associated schemas, background updates, etc.

On top of the databases are the StorageControllers, located in the
`synapse.storage.controllers` module. These classes provide high level
interfaces that combine calls to multiple `databases`. They are bundled into the
`StorageControllers` singleton for ease of use, and exposed via
`HomeServer.get_storage_controllers()`.

There are also schemas that get applied to every database, regardless of the
data stores associated with them (e.g. the schema version tables), which are
stored in `synapse.storage.schema`.
