What is managed OpenSearch?

Managed OpenSearch is a search-engine-as-a-service that handles all the operational overhead of running an OpenSearch cluster, including server provisioning, patching, high-availability, backups, and security. This allows you to focus on building your application, not managing infrastructure.

How is Aiven for OpenSearch different from AWS OpenSearch Service or Elastic Cloud?

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.

What are the main use cases for Aiven for OpenSearch?

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.

Can I migrate from Elasticsearch to Aiven for OpenSearch?

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.

How does Aiven handle security for OpenSearch?

Aiven for OpenSearch provides robust, enterprise-grade security. This includes end-to-end encryption, dedicated VMs, VPC peering, and compliance with standards like SOC 2 and GDPR. The service also includes the OpenSearch Security plugin for fine-grained access control, audit logging, and RBAC.

The search engine that understands

Transform your data with integrated vector search and AI capabilities directly within OpenSearch. Go beyond keywords to truly understand meaning, generate insights, and power cutting-edge Generative AI and advanced search experiences, all while managing your data in a single, scalable platform.

Search type

Search smarter with a fully-featured secure service

Semantic search

Understands user intent and meaning, not just exact keywords. Delivers highly relevant results by leveraging vector embeddings and neural networks.

Hybrid search

Combines the precision of keyword search with the contextual understanding of semantic search, delivering the most relevant results every time.

Multimodal search

Search across different data types – like text and images – by unifying their meaning through vector embeddings, enabling richer content discovery.

Neutral search

The underlying technology powering intelligent search. Neural Search transforms text into vectors during ingest and search, facilitating all AI-driven search experiences.

Customize with 20+ plugins

Supercharge your OpenSearch service with k-NN, Index Management, anomaly detection, and more.
