Today, we are announcing a ground-up re-architecture of Amazon OpenSearch Serverless that delivers up to 20 times faster autoscaling, scale to zero, and up to 60% lower cost than provisioning clusters for peak load. Amazon OpenSearch Service is a fully managed, open source retrieval engine that unifies vector, lexical, hybrid, and agentic search, delivering low-latency, accurate and relevant results. Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is an automatically scaled deployment option. The new architecture decouples compute from storage. The service provisions infrastructure in seconds instead of minutes, and scales compute all the way to zero when your application is idle. In this post, we walk through the new architecture, what it means for your applications, and how to get started with a hands-on tutorial.
