Migrate DB to RDS and Add Elasticsearch Search

Scenario

A team migrates their self-managed relational database to ApsaraDB RDS as the primary data store, then ingests relevant data into Elasticsearch to power full-text search and analytics on top of the migrated data — a classic CQRS-style read-layer pattern.

1. rds · rds-migrate-data — ApsaraDB RDS — Migrate database data to or between RDS instances

See rds/rds-migrate-data.

2. es · es-ingest-documents — Elasticsearch — Ingest and manage document data in Elasticsearch

See es/es-ingest-documents.

Q: How do I migrate a database to RDS and add Elasticsearch search? A: You can accomplish this by migrating your self-managed relational database to ApsaraDB RDS and then ingesting the relevant data into Elasticsearch to power full-text search and analytics. This CQRS-style pattern combines the rds-migrate-data skill for the database transfer with the es-ingest-documents skill for managing the search layer.
