It’s been five years since OpenSearch was forked to create a truly open source path for search and analytics. Since then, the project has grown into a stable, independent ecosystem supported by contributors worldwide.

To mark this milestone, the OpenSearch Software Foundation and LF Research are launching a community survey to better understand how your organization uses search and observability tools today.

To do that, we need to know: How are you actually using your search and observability tools today?

Your feedback will directly influence the Foundation’s roadmap and help us build a more robust ecosystem for everyone.

Thank you for being part of the journey.
