OpenSearch is moving AI from experiment to production.

At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU 2026, Bianca Lewis spoke with ECI Research about hybrid search—combining lexical and vector approaches—to power real-time, scalable AI applications. The discussion highlights why OpenSearch is becoming essential open, vendor-neutral infrastructure for AI.

OpenSearch is proving that search still matters in the age of AI.

At KubeCon Europe, Bianca Lewis explained why moving beyond basic vector databases to hybrid search is key to keeping generative AI from hallucinating.

As compliance demands grow and agentic AI rises, bringing compute back to the data could be the simplest way to protect data sovereignty.
