OpenSearch

Advantages of using OpenSearch

Text search - faster search time than SQL databases
Transaction logs can be accessed through OpenSearch Dashboards, which will give flexibility for evaluating and aggregation of the transaction information.
OpenSearch is a common service on major cloud providers and can be easily configured.

Compatibility

OpenSearch Client is compatible with 1.x/2.x OpenSearch server.

Migration from Elasticsearch

OpenSearch is a fork of Elasticsearch, so the migration process is generally straightforward. You can migrate your indices following official OpenSearch documentation. Netcetera 3DS Server unofficially supported OpenSearch Server 1.0 to 1.3 as a transaction storage before 2.9.0.0 version. This means you can migrate your data and start using OpenSearch before planning to upgrade the 3DS Server to 2.9.0.0 major version.
