💡 Why This Guide Exists

Hey there! I'm @themuku, and this guide was born out of necessity during my own journey implementing Elasticsearch in a NestJS project. When I started, I found myself piecing together information from various sources - documentation, videos, and forums. While there were resources about Elasticsearch and NestJS separately, I couldn't find a comprehensive guide that brought them together effectively.

This guide documents my implementation journey, sharing real solutions and approaches I'm currently using in production. It's growing alongside my project, which means you'll get practical, tested solutions rather than theoretical examples.

🎯 Current Focus

• Core Elasticsearch integration with NestJS
• Real-world implementation patterns
• Production-ready configurations
• Performance optimization techniques

🚀 Future Roadmap

• Full ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) stack integration
• Advanced monitoring setups
• More complex search patterns
• Extended performance optimization guides
