A protein is a sequence of amino acids that, when chained together, creates a 3D structure. This 3D structure allows the protein to bind to other structures within the body and initiate changes. This binding is core to the working of many drugs. A common workflow within drug discovery is searching for similar proteins, because […]

Amazon OpenSearch Service introduced the OpenSearch Optimized Instances (OR1), deliver price-performance improvement over existing instances. The newly introduced OR1 instances are ideally tailored for heavy indexing use cases like log analytics and observability workloads. OR1 instances use a local and a remote store. The local storage utilizes either Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) of […]

Enterprise customers increasingly adopt Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion (OSI) to bring data into Amazon OpenSearch Service for various use cases. These include petabyte-scale log analytics, real-time streaming, security analytics, and searching semi-structured key-value or document data. OSI makes it simple, with straightforward integrations, to ingest data from many AWS services, including Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Simple Storage […]

Data streaming enables generative AI to take advantage of real-time data and provide businesses with rapid insights. This post looks at how to integrate generative AI capabilities when implementing a streaming architecture on AWS using managed services such as Managed Service for Apache Flink and Amazon Kinesis Data Streams for processing streaming data and Amazon Bedrock to utilize generative AI capabilities. We include a reference architecture and a step-by-step guide on infrastructure setup and sample code for implementing the solution with the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK). You can find the code to try it out yourself on the GitHub repo.

In this post, we outline the steps to copy data between two indexes in the same OpenSearch Serverless collection using the new OpenSearch source feature of OpenSearch Ingestion. This is particularly useful for reindexing operations where you want to change your data schema. OpenSearch Serverless and OpenSearch Ingestion are both serverless services that enable you to seamlessly handle your data workflows, providing optimal performance and scalability.

Multimodal search enables both text and image search capabilities, transforming how users access data through search applications. Consider building an online fashion retail store: you can enhance the users’ search experience with a visually appealing application that customers can use to not only search using text but they can also upload an image depicting a […]

In today’s data-driven world, organizations are continually confronted with the task of managing extensive volumes of data securely and efficiently. Whether it’s customer information, sales records, or sensor data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the importance of handling and storing data at scale with ease of use is paramount. A common use case that […]

As part of an indexing operation, the ingested documents are stored as immutable segments. Each segment is a collection of various data structures, such as inverted index, block K dimensional tree (BKD), term dictionary, or stored fields, and these data structures are responsible for retrieving the document faster during the search operation. Out of these data structures, stored fields, which are largest fields in the segment, are compressed when stored on the disk and based on the compression strategy used, the compression speed and the index storage size will vary. In this post, we discuss the performance of the Zstandard algorithm, which was introduced in OpenSearch v2.9, amongst other available compression algorithms in OpenSearch.

We are excited to announce the general availability of Amazon OpenSearch Service zero-ETL integration with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for domains running 2.13 and above. The integration is new way for customers to query operational logs in Amazon S3 and Amazon S3-based data lakes without needing to switch between tools to analyze operational data. By querying across OpenSearch Service and S3 datasets, you can evaluate multiple data sources to perform forensic analysis of operational and security events. The new integration with OpenSearch Service supports AWS’s zero-ETL vision to reduce the operational complexity of duplicating data or managing multiple analytics tools by enabling you to directly query your operational data, reducing costs and time to action.

Designing a full stack search application requires addressing numerous challenges to provide a smooth and effective user experience. This encompasses tasks such as integrating diverse data from various sources with distinct formats and structures, optimizing the user experience for performance and security, providing multilingual support, and optimizing for cost, operations, and reliability.
