OpenSearch

OpenSearch is a scalable, flexible and extensible open-source software suite for search, analytics and observability applications licensed under Apache 2.0. Powered by Apache Lucene and driven by the OpenSearch Project community, OpenSearch offers a vendor-agnostic toolset you can use to build secure, high-performance, cost-efficient applications.
