A great search experience is a must-have for enterprise applications these days. As full-text search in databases often is limited, ElasticSearch (ES) steps in and offers powerful search services through a REST API. But how to keep your domain model and ES in sync? No worries, Hibernate Search has got you covered. In this talk you will learn how to index your entity model with the help of a few annotations, let Hibernate Search take care of the database/ES synchronization and get back managed objects from free text queries. Based on typical use cases, you will find out about preparing your data for indexing, synchronous and asynchronous index updates, different approaches for running searches and more. Be prepared to see code and the great combo of Hibernate Search and ES in action.
