Why teams connect Elasticsearch and YugabyteDB

Keep Elasticsearch and YugabyteDB 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 YugabyteDB 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

  • Mirror support tickets into an index used for full-text search and agent-assist tooling.
  • Feed enriched customer records into an index used for vector or hybrid search in AI applications.
  • Consolidate data from regional YugabyteDB clusters into one reporting store.
  • Run log-based CDC from YugabyteDB tables into a warehouse for analytics without batch dumps.

Regional or environment copies

Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.

Cross-engine sync

Keep the same dataset live in both Elasticsearch and YugabyteDB, 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.

What you can sync between Elasticsearch and YugabyteDB

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 YugabyteDB objects
Indices Target containers for synced records; each holds a table-like collection of JSON documents. Materialized Views Precomputed query results available in YSQL for read-side shaping.
Documents The unit of sync; JSON records created, updated, and deleted by _id. Schemas Postgres-style namespaces in YSQL used to organize synced data.
Index mappings Field type definitions that determine how synced fields are indexed and queried. Sequences ID generation objects relevant when syncing writes into YSQL tables.
Aliases Stable read/write names that let a sync cut over between index versions without downtime. CDC Streams Change streams over the storage-layer WAL consumed through logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors.
Data streams Append-only targets for time-series or event data pushed from source systems. Databases and Keyspaces Top-level containers for the YSQL (Postgres-style) and YCQL (Cassandra-style) APIs respectively.
Ingest pipelines Server-side transforms applied to documents as a sync writes them. Tables Distributed SQL tables split into tablets; the primary read and write targets.

How the Elasticsearch and YugabyteDB 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

YugabyteDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible YSQL) plus a Cassandra-compatible YCQL API
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Native CDC from the write-ahead log via PostgreSQL logical replication or Debezium-compatible connectors
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput scales with cluster nodes and tablet distribution.
How it works

How to connect Elasticsearch to YugabyteDB — 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.
