Amazon Elasticsearch Service now provides built-in support for search templates using Mustache on all Elasticsearch 5 domains. Mustache is an open-source logic-less templating engine.

Search templates can help reduce errors and save time when constructing queries. Mustache is now enabled by default on all Amazon Elasticsearch Service 5.1 domains.
