Ask HN: Does it make sense to use OpenSearch/Elasticsearch as main DB?

2 pointsby iyn6 months ago
Team at a place I work at picked OpenSearch as a primary (and only) database for the product (collaborative CRUD). It feels wrong to me, as I’ve seen issues around data loss, consistency problems, performance issues in the articles&#x2F;tests in the past [0]. But there’s not much info about the recent versions of ElasticSearch&#x2F;OpenSearch as a main DB, so I decided to ask here - does anyone have experience using ES&#x2F;OS as a primary datastore (at scale) or has some useful references or suggestions for evaluating such decision? Thanks!<p>[0] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aphyr.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;323-jepsen-elasticsearch-1-5-0
