Hi everyone, New here , and totally new with elasticsearch, but I didn't find exactly what I'm looking for and no one to explain me, so I ask here. Hope this is not a duplicate… I've asked this question on stackoverflow, first [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35021832/increase-app-performances-with-elasticsearch-on-nodejs?noredirect=1#comment57770184_35021832) I have an application that run on NodeJS with the ORM sequelize and a MySQL database. The project start one year ago. I would like, now, to increase performances etc, install ElasticSearch. But I'm not sure if I can. Can I just tell my elasticserver, where my database is, and magically, it does the mapping alone ? Or Have I to insert my data on elasticSearch ? All my infrastructure is hosted on AWS, I'm using RDS. May be it will help ? In fact I don't know where to put the elasticSearch layer ? Do you have any ideas to help me. Because, I already worked with Symfony and the FosElasticaBundle, but it works pretty well that I don't know how. Thank you in advance 🙂 ---
