OpenSearch project was born out of the passion for Elasticsearch and Kibana and the desire to keep them open source in the face of Elastic’s decision to close-source them. After a couple of months of hard work led by AWS, the Beta release was announced earlier this month under Apache2 license.

On this virtual meetup, run jointly with OpenObservability Talks, Dotan Horovits will host Kyle Davis, Senior Developer Advocate for OpenSearch at AWS. We’ll talk about how OpenSearch came to be, what it took to fork Elasticsearch and Kibana, what the engineers discovered when they dug into the code, what’s planned ahead, and much more.
