I actually really like Elasticsearch. It’s very powerful, there’s a healthy ecosystem of tools (increasingly for OpenSearch too), and the query language makes sense to me.

Sure it’s computationally expensive, inefficient even, but for many use-cases it just works.

I’d add that for production deployments, AWS has developed a new instance family that enables OpenSearch data to be stored on S3 [1], bringing significant cost savings.
