How to connect Elasticsearch?

Question

JavaScript

I have a data.json file that I use as a database for my kind of “online store”,
and in this store I want to do a product search and filter, but I can’t figure out if Elasticsearch can be used for my purposes or should I you need a real database.

If it is possible, then I cannot understand how and where to connect this Elasticsearch on the backend or on the frontend?
Is it easy to do this or is it a signora task?

Answer 1

If the data fits into the RAM, then you can also look towards Tarantool, Reindexer or RediSearch.
By the way, Redis is also useful for storing sessions.
In general, Elasticsearch is easy to install and connect, but it is difficult to maintain it in working order.
