> dejavu is the missing web UI for Elasticsearch. Existing web UIs leave much to be desired or are built with server side page rendering techniques (I am looking at you, Kibana).

So less so "missing" UI and more "outdated" UI.

I personally like Kibana but I am happy to see some innovation in the space. Competition can only help.

I love that this can be run as a Docker container or as a Chrome extension. With the quick setup I'll probably give it a try. It looks nice.

Jesus, since when is server side rendering of server side data supposedly an anti-pattern?

It's complementary to Kibana, I would say. Dejavu gives the raw data view as well as an ability to add/update data along with mappings. It also comes with an importer view where you can add JSON / CSV files to directly import into ES. Doing this otherwise currently is a major PITA.

Kibana is more for dashboarding and visualization, Dejavu gives you control of the raw data views and indexing operations.
