Frequently asked questions
OpenSearch® is an open source search and analytics product that makes it easy to ingest, search, visualize, and analyze data:
- The search engine that understands: Transform your data and find what matters — with semantic, hybrid, multimodal, and neural search — all while managing your data in a single, scalable platform.
- Your scalable vector database: Store and search vector embeddings alongside your existing data, and fast-track your AI initiatives by running and managing ML models directly within your cluster.
- Enable crucial use cases: From your apps to the infrastructure on which they depend, power everything from more efficient search solutions and log analytics to advanced application monitoring and threat intelligence.
Aiven for OpenSearch is a managed version of the Apache 2.0-licensed open source search and analytics suite OpenSearch. Aiven handles all the operational overhead of running an OpenSearch cluster — including server provisioning, patching, high-availability, backups, and security — allowing you to focus on building your application, rather than on managing infrastructure.
The most common use cases are log analytics, application performance monitoring (APM), full-text search for websites and applications, and as a vector database for AI-powered semantic search and RAG applications.
Aiven for OpenSearch provides robust, enterprise-grade security, with features including end-to-end encryption, dedicated VMs, VPC peering, plus compliance with standards including SOC 2 and GDPR. The service also includes the OpenSearch Security plugin for fine-grained access control, audit logging, and RBAC.
Aiven provides a 100% open-source OpenSearch experience with no vendor lock-in and a 99.99% uptime SLA. Our all-inclusive pricing bundles networking and data transfer costs for predictable billing. Aiven's unified platform makes it simple to integrate OpenSearch with other managed services like Apache Kafka® and PostgreSQL® on any major cloud or in your own account with BYOC.
Yes. Since OpenSearch is a fork of Elasticsearch 7.10.2, migration is straightforward. Your existing clients and code should be compatible with only minor changes to connection endpoints and libraries.
