The suite includes several components such as OpenSearch Data Prepper, which is a server-side data collector that filters, enriches, transforms, normalizes, and aggregates data for downstream analysis. OpenSearch Dashboards provide a user-friendly interface for data visualization, while language APIs allow communication with OpenSearch in multiple programming languages.
OpenSearch supports a range of use cases, with search and observability being the most common. It allows full-text searches, vector searches, and observability solutions by analyzing logs, metrics, and traces. The vector search capability enables semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation by storing vector embeddings of data.
The platform is highly scalable, making it suitable for applications of varying sizes. It also offers tools like OpenSearch Benchmark for performance measurement and Migration Assistant for transitioning from other search engines. OpenSearch is ideal for developers building AI-powered applications, data analysts, and IT professionals seeking robust search and analytics solutions.
