You can achieve consistency using a transactional outbox and "homegrown" solutions the following way.

Make sure postgresql is configured with `synchronous_commit = remote_apply`

* Create a postgresql logical replication slot which creates a postgresql snapshot in time.

* Start a repeatable read transaction with the snapshot id

* Store all relevant data from the snapshot in sqlite / kv store

* Start listening for WAL changes ( json or protobufs )

* Receive WAL change, mark to postgresql the "write" position of the slot

* Process the data and query all relevant data for materialization from sqlite/kv

* Send data to elasticsearch

* Mark to postgresql the "flush" and "apply" position of the slot

This way you achieve consistency using "homegrown" or Kafka connect possibly too.
