Logz.io Moves to Embrace OpenSearch at the Core of its Platform

Logz.io is transitioning its backend database from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch, aligning with its commitment to open-source observability and in response to the relicensing of the ELK Stack by Elastic. This shift, coinciding with the company's ScaleUP user conference, is designed to seamlessly enhance performance for Logz.io customers without altering the product interface, thanks to OpenSearch's efficiency. The move represents a strategic shift to embrace a community-driven, open-source approach, with plans to replace Kibana visualizations with OpenSearch Dashboards in 2022. This transition is part of Logz.io's broader effort to innovate and provide advanced observability solutions, bolstered by its collaboration with AWS and other OpenSearch contributors. The company remains dedicated to open-source development, evidenced by the adoption of Fluentd as a log exporter following Elastic's restriction on Filebeat, reinforcing Logz.io's focus on delivering cutting-edge capabilities to its users.
