A Python package that indexes Django models into Elasticsearch, built as a thin wrapper around elasticsearch-dsl-py. It keeps Elasticsearch in sync with Django via signal receivers and provides management commands for index lifecycle operations.

Use cases

• add full-text search to a django app with elasticsearch
• keep elasticsearch indices in sync with django model saves and deletes
• auto-map django model fields to elasticsearch mappings
• rebuild and populate search indices from django management commands
• index related nested and object fields from django models
• speed up bulk indexing of django models in parallel

When to choose

• you use Django and want declarative model-to-Elasticsearch indexing
• you want automatic sync on save/delete via Django signals
• you need management commands for creating, rebuilding, and populating indices
• you want to leverage elasticsearch-dsl-py's Search API directly

When to avoid

• you don't use Django
• you use a search backend other than Elasticsearch
• you need a version whose major version doesn't match your Elasticsearch version
• you want a fully managed search-as-a-service integration
