Somebody that does consulting work with Elasticsearch mentioned that they had some pretty innovative features in the pipeline and these are the things that can really pull people away from OpenSearch. It could also be that, people only really want basic search functionality so who knows right :-)

I’m increasingly pessimistic on ES as a solution. Everyone is coming to eat their lunch. APM? Datadog. Product search? Algolia.

I think the next wave of search tech will be

1. Leveraging automated ingestion optimization.

2. Capable of searching across mixed media: text, audio, images to start out with. This is only possible because of optimized ingestion. The ingestion layer will perform vectorization of the inputs. The vectors will be the entires stored in inverted indices.

3. A great jump from two to an optimized data store for searching mixed media.

People obsessing over elastic/splunk features are lost. Nobody will care in 5 years. Both will be legacy enterprise tech.

i think that for all the people which just want a logging system in their k8s, opensearch is pretty good.

lots of software ist stable and just works. everyone uses bash. let the elastic guys make their new software more shiny, good for them. i am now glad i can use a real opensource version at home and for small to midsized projects. if opensearch won't cut it? no problem, the customer can pay elastic :)
