OpenSearch: The Open, Transparent Future of Search

Proposal status is Rejected
Session Description

Search is at the heart of so many things we build from apps to big data platforms. For years, many of us relied on Elasticsearch to power that search. But as things changed, one thing became clear: openness can’t just be a label; it has to be a commitment.

That’s where OpenSearch comes in. Born from a need for real openness and community-driven development, OpenSearch has grown into a powerful, truly open alternative for search and analytics.

In this talk, we’ll explore what makes OpenSearch different, how the community keeps it transparent and evolving, and why choosing OpenSearch means choosing freedom and trust for the long run. Whether you’re a developer, an architect, or just curious about open source, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of why OpenSearch is shaping the future of search and how you can be part of it.

Let’s keep search open, together.
