That makes me sad. I would love for AWS to have a hosted Mongo solution or some type of NoSQL database besides DynamoDB.

Do people use ElasticSearch as a primary data store? In my limited experience implementations don’t treat it as the source of truth.

Yes, but it only works if absolute-goddamn-integrity is not a concern.

We unfortunately inherited a cluster from someone who thought it would be appropriate as a SoT for forensic data, which causes me no end of grief.

Elastic maintains a page documenting the current status of their "resiliency" efforts on Elasticsearch:

ElasticSearch doesn’t have adequate data integrity to treat it as a primary data store for most use cases.
