Ask HN: How is AWS OpenSearch vs. Elasticsearch playing out?

Posted by goldinfra on Tuesday November 14, 2023 @12:13PM

Curious if other more informed people know what's going on with AWS's OpenSearch fork of Elasticsearch?

Is AWS doing a good job? Should people outside of the AWS ecosystem be using OpenSearch? Has Elasticsearch become more proprietary as a result of their license change?

Also curious if people are happy moving to completely alternative open source search engine solutions.

I'm wondering the same.

Here's a link to a "pro" argument from 6 months ago:

Currently I lean towards Elasticsearch, because it fits our use cases better than OpenSearch.
