In 2023, I joined AWS to lead engineering for open-source OpenSearch. I quickly realized that while OpenSearch had achieved significant success, we were still working to rebuild the trust lost when Elastic changed its license. I also saw the immense potential of our dedicated community to drive innovation and accelerate growth.

Early in 2023, the rise of generative AI placed OpenSearch at the forefront, thanks to our early innovations in k-NN algorithms as a vector database. It became crucial to invest in and enhance core search performance and vector database use cases, including hybrid search. This led to a cultural transformation within AWS, OpenSearch, and our relationship with our community, focusing on deeper innovations in the search domain. Initially, there were challenges, but the AWS team and the broader community embraced the change. Together, we pushed for more open governance and trust building. We established a leadership committee comprising diverse stakeholders to promote open and transparent governance.
And we saw results!

quick edit requested


Today the OpenSearch Software Foundation has 14 member organizations, including premier members AWS, SAP, and Uber and general members Aiven, Aryn, Atlassian, Canonical, DataStax, Digital Ocean, DTEX, Eliatra, Graylog, Instaclustr by NetApp, and Portal26. Since the launch of the OpenSearch Software Foundation in September, we've confirmed a governing board with leaders from AWS, Aryn, SAP, and Uber. Our Technical Steering Committee is already driving key technology decisions with committee members from SAP, Bytedance, Oracle, Logz.io, Aiven, Aryn, Uber, and Slack/Salesforce.

With a more engaged community than ever before, we're well positioned to build on the foundation we've forged together and continue to innovate. While the OpenSearch Software Foundation represents a culmination of four years of community-focused collaboration and growth, in many ways it feels like we're at the beginning of a new and really exciting journey. As always, we will continue to look to the community for your valuable input as we move forward together on this journey.
