Why teams connect Elasticsearch and RavenDB

Keep Elasticsearch and RavenDB synchronized in real time, across engines, regions, or services, in one or both directions.

Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.

Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Elasticsearch and RavenDB continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Feed enriched customer records into an index used for vector or hybrid search in AI applications.
  • Sync CRM accounts and contacts into an Elasticsearch index to power internal search across customer records.
  • Stream RavenDB document changes into Postgres or a warehouse via data subscriptions for SQL analytics.
  • Sync operational documents such as orders and profiles between RavenDB and a CRM so business teams see application data.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Elasticsearch and RavenDB, so each workload runs on the engine that suits it.

Migration with zero-downtime cutover

When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.

Shared reference data between services

Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.

What you can sync between Elasticsearch and RavenDB

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Elasticsearch objects RavenDB objects
Ingest pipelines Server-side transforms applied to documents as a sync writes them. Indexes Static and auto indexes used to query documents for filtered reads
Index templates Reusable settings and mappings applied automatically to new indices a sync creates. Attachments Binary payloads stored with documents, handled separately from the JSON body
Indices Target containers for synced records; each holds a table-like collection of JSON documents. Revisions Historical versions of documents, useful for audit-oriented replication
Documents The unit of sync; JSON records created, updated, and deleted by _id. Counters Numeric values attached to documents that change independently of the document body
Index mappings Field type definitions that determine how synced fields are indexed and queried. Time series Timestamped measurements stored per document, synced for metrics analysis
Aliases Stable read/write names that let a sync cut over between index versions without downtime. Data subscriptions Server-side change feeds that push matching documents to consumers
What ships with Elasticsearch ⇄ RavenDB

Workflow automation

Trigger automated workflows whenever Elasticsearch or RavenDB data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Elasticsearch or RavenDB record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your Elasticsearch ⇄ RavenDB sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Elasticsearch and RavenDB.

How the Elasticsearch and RavenDB connectors work

Elasticsearch

Integration surface
REST API (JSON over HTTP)
Authentication
API keys or basic authentication; Elastic Cloud also issues service account tokens
Change detection
Polling on timestamp or sequence fields; Elasticsearch does not expose a native change feed or webhooks
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed request quota; throughput is bounded by cluster sizing, thread pools, and bulk queue capacity

RavenDB

Integration surface
HTTP REST API with official clients (.NET, Java, Node.js, Python, and others)
Authentication
X.509 client certificates on secured servers, instead of username and password
Change detection
data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
throughput bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas
How it works

How to connect Elasticsearch to RavenDB — three steps, no code

Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.

  1. 01

    Connect your apps

    Authenticate Elasticsearch and RavenDB with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
