Imagine deploying OpenSearch to power search and analytics for millions of users—only to find unexpected roadblocks waiting at every turn. From managing massive data volumes to tuning performance under tight SLAs, the journey was far from smooth but rich with lessons. In this talk, we’ll take you behind the scenes of our real-world OpenSearch implementation, sharing war stories, hard-won insights, and practical strategies that helped us turn chaos into a well-oiled machine.

Through interactive storytelling, we’ll explore:
• How we scaled OpenSearch clusters to handle unpredictable growth.
• The pitfalls we encountered (and resolved) with indexing, querying, and resource optimization.
• Real examples of troubleshooting and automation techniques that saved us time and effort.

Whether you’re just starting with OpenSearch or already managing production workloads, this session is your chance to peek into our playbook, ask questions, and leave with actionable takeaways to conquer your operational challenges.
