About OpenSearch

OpenSearch is an enterprise-grade search and observability suite that brings order to unstructured data at scale. A distributed, RESTful search engine sits at its core, letting you ingest, search, visualize, and analyze data in one stack.

It was forked from Elasticsearch and Kibana by AWS in 2021, after Elastic relicensed those products, and remains fully open source under Apache 2.0. It covers full-text and vector search, dashboards, and observability for logs, metrics, and traces.

OpenSearch runs self-hosted from official downloads and distributions. The project is governed by the OpenSearch Software Foundation under the Linux Foundation, with development carried out in the open.
