See how businesses are optimizing data with Managed OpenSearch

We were very impressed with how easily we were able to seamlessly migrate our workloads from Elasticsearch to DigitalOcean Managed OpenSearch. For our particular use case, this was a huge advantage as it allowed us to keep our OpenSearch-compatible workloads close to the majority of our services, massively reducing latency while also improving security across our platform. As with all Managed Database services DigitalOcean provides, it reduces our exposure and risk in running complex distributed services. Having been long-term consumers of Managed MySQL and Managed Redis, we feel extremely confident in DigitalOcean's ability to provide rock-solid managed services for complex data storage solutions.

We use DigitalOcean Managed OpenSearch for putting all our logs together in one place. This combined with the ability to automatically forward all DigitalOcean Managed database logs, is really brilliant and helps us a lot to identify issues or slow DB queries - our database is currently processing 20k operations/sec peak, so having great insights into logs is crucial for us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DigitalOcean Managed Databases for OpenSearch?

DigitalOcean Managed Databases for OpenSearch is a scalable, fully-managed, open-source search and analytics suite. It provides a simple and secure way to deploy and manage a cluster for use cases like log analytics, real-time application monitoring, and full-text search. DigitalOcean handles the complex management tasks, including cluster setup, scaling, and maintenance.

How does Managed OpenSearch help with log analytics?
Managed OpenSearch is ideal for log analytics because it can ingest and index large volumes of log data from various sources, such as your Droplets and Kubernetes clusters. You can then use its powerful search and visualization tools to quickly find insights, troubleshoot application issues, and monitor the health of your infrastructure in real time.
How does Managed OpenSearch benefit Digital Native Enterprises?

Digital Native Enterprises rely on real-time data to make business decisions and improve their products. Managed OpenSearch provides a cost-effective and scalable solution for analyzing user behavior, monitoring application performance, and building powerful search features into their applications. This allows them to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.

Can an AI Native Business use Managed OpenSearch?
Yes, an AI Native Business can use Managed OpenSearch to store and search through large volumes of unstructured data that can be used to inform AI models. For example, they can index user feedback, forum discussions, or customer support transcripts and then use OpenSearch's powerful search capabilities to find relevant data points to fine-tune their large language models (LLMs).
How does OpenSearch differ from other databases?
Unlike a traditional relational database like PostgreSQL that is optimized for structured data and transactions, OpenSearch is built for full-text search and analytical queries on unstructured or semi-structured data. It excels at tasks like log analytics and searching for information within large text corpora.
Is Managed OpenSearch secure?
Yes, Managed OpenSearch is designed with security in mind. You can place your cluster within a VPC to ensure that all traffic is contained within a private, isolated network. Additionally, DigitalOcean provides managed security updates and automated backups, ensuring your data is always protected.
