Introduction

For the web manager, bookings engine, my environment and webservices we don't use database listeners. For this, we have a separate flow in place, because we require additional information (such as pre-calculated prices) in the Elasticsearch index.

Index Modes

We have several index modes available which all have their requirements and benefits. Below you can find a matrix in which per index mode the requirements, benefits, and limitations are listed.
