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

3 pointsby goldinfraover 1 year ago
Curious if other more informed people know what&#x27;s going on with AWS&#x27;s OpenSearch fork of Elasticsearch?<p>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?<p>Also curious if people are happy moving to completely alternative open source search engine solutions.

I&#x27;m wondering the same.<p>Here&#x27;s a link to a &quot;pro&quot; argument from 6 months ago:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=35909918">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=35909918</a><p>Edit:<p>A high-level overview: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=62u30TO-OsA">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=62u30TO-OsA</a><p>Currently I lean towards Elasticsearch, because it fits our use cases better than OpenSearch.
