OpenSearch 3.0 Unveiled: Vector DB on Steroids and More - OpenObservability Talks S6E01
from OpenObservability Talks · host Dotan Horovits
OpenSearch has become a cornerstone of open source search and observability, empowering developers and organizations to derive meaningful insights from unstructured data at scale. The past year marks a significant milestone in its journey, with OpenSearch officially joining The Linux Foundation, further cementing its position in the open source ecosystem.Now, after two years of 2.x, the next major release is here, and it brings significant advancements in performance, data management, vector database functionality, and much more. In this episode we dive into the 3.0 release, across lexical, semantic, and hybrid search, vector database improvements, observability capabilities, performance boosts, and much more. We also look at the community and ecosystem, the recent move of the project under The Linux Foundation, and some of the interesting use cases out there. Our guests for this episode are Carl Meadows, Chair of the Governing Board of the OpenSearch Software Foundation, and Pallavi Priyadarshini, member of the Technical Steering Committee and the OpenSearch 3.0 release manager.The episode was live-streamed on 9 June 2025 and the video is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4T-ksTAmxgYou can read the recap post: https://medium.com/p/fb526e0d44e5/Show Notes:00:00 - intro03:30 - OpenSearch joins the Linux Foundation06:05 - the community and Technical Steering Committee11:39 - why now 3.0?13:53 - performance improvements17:55 - vector database and MCP for agentic AI support23:20 - what's new with observability30:14 - Discover UI view and anomaly detection33:55 - the vision for OpenSearch and differentiation37:33 - Data Prepper ingestion component44:28 - gRPC and Protobuf support49:47 - 3.1 release and the 3.x line55:25 - where to follow and join the community1:03:12 - outro Resources:OpenSearch 3.0 announcement blog: https://opensearch.org/blog/unveiling-opensearch-3-0/OpenSearch public roadmap: https://github.com/orgs/opensearch-project/projects/220 OpenSearchCon and other events: https://opensearch.org/events/New Observability Special Interest Group: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7336739972877537281/Socials:BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/openobservability.bsky.socialLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/openobservability/Twitter: https://twitter.com/OpenObservYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@openobservabilitytalksDotan Horovits============Twitter: @horovitsLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/horovitsMastodon: @horovits@fosstodonBlueSky: @horovits.bsky.socialCarl Meadows============Twitter: https://x.com/Carl_F_MeadowsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlfmeadows/Pallavi Priyadarshini=================LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pallavipr/OpenObservability Talks episodes are released monthly, on the last Thursday of each month and are available for listening on your favorite podcast app and on YouTube.We live-stream the episodes on Twitch and YouTube Live - tune in to see us live, and chime in with your comments and questions on the live chat.https://www.youtube.com/@openobservabilitytalks https://www.twitch.tv/openobservability
