Ah yes, battle-tested Elasticsearch is a ticking time bomb for not wanting to get their lunch eaten by Jeff Bezos.

Just use this pre-V1 public beta software I stumbled upon instead.




The reality is that open search will be (if it is not already) more widely deployed and “battle tested” with bugs that production use raise resolved in it.

The narrative that opensearch is some kind of unsafe abandonware is clearly nonsense when you read the commit log: https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/commits/mai...

All I can say is, sure, if you want elastic use elastic.

…but opensearch is fine. I use it and have no problem with it.


How did you go from

"It lacks so many improvements and advancements since the ancient version it was forked at"

to "opensearch is some kind of unsafe abandonware"?

Would love to learn the thought process here.

…but I mean, I’m not really up for playing the “pedantically correct about what he/she said” game with you.

Instead how about you comment on the point I’m actually making, which is:

opensearch is perfectly fine for most people.

For most people, there is no meaningful distinction between elastic and opensearch.

Opensearch is a healthy project which regularly receives updates and is widely used in production in large deployments.

If you have any meaningful or compelling argument why any of those three things is not true by all means, I’d love to hear about it.


No one's asking you to play any games: I'll settle for reading before you comment.

> Also you can just keep your data in postgres and use paradedb and stop having to deal with dramatically more expensive infrastructure and the JVM.

That was the comment I replied to. If you thought OpenSource was pre-V1 public beta software I'm not sure why you're even opining on this.


> If you have any meaningful or compelling argument why any of those three things is not true by all means, I’d love to hear about it.


Feel free to read the other comments you ignored.


paradedb is mainly just a package of established/battle-tested postgres extensions like bm25 and pgsparse all on top of cloudnative-pg.
