Cloud Native Now, Tuesday, March 24th, 2026
The OpenSearch Software Foundation announced at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 that OpenSearch has been named a Leader and Fast Mover in the 2025 GigaOm Radar for Vector Databases v3. The foundation also pointed to a new report from S&P Global Market Intelligence 451 Research that it said shows growing enterprise adoption of hybrid and vector-augmented search for AI applications.
The GigaOm analysis highlighted OpenSearch support for hybrid search across dense and sparse vectors, scalable indexing and k-nearest neighbor performance, and flexible relevance tuning. The foundation said OpenSearch is positioned to unify vector retrieval with traditional full-text search, filtering and aggregations for enterprise AI use cases including semantic search, observability and retrieval-augmented generation.
