At All Things Open in October, Anandhi Bumstead, AWS’s director of software engineering, highlighted OpenSearch's journey and the advantages of the Linux Foundation's stewardship. OpenSearch, an open source data ingestion and analytics engine, was transferred by Amazon Web Services (AWS) to the Linux Foundation in September 2024, seeking neutral governance and broader community collaboration. Originally forked from Elasticsearch after a licensing change in 2021, OpenSearch has evolved into a versatile platform likened to a “Swiss Army knife” for its broad use cases, including observability, log and security analytics, alert detection, and semantic and hybrid search, particularly in generative AI applications.

Despite criticism over slower indexing speeds compared to Elasticsearch, significant performance improvements have been made. The latest release, OpenSearch 2.17, delivers 6.5x faster query performance and a 25% indexing improvement due to segment replication. Future efforts aim to enhance indexing, search, storage, and vector capabilities while optimizing costs and efficiency. Contributions are welcomed via opensearch.org.
