100M Logs a Day: Performance Engineering an OpenSearch Observability Platform for Kubernetes - Sravanthi Naga, Pegasystems

Monday June 15, 2026 10:50am - 11:30am IST

206

Kubernetes platforms generate massive volumes of logs from microservices, infrastructure, and platform services. At scale, OpenSearch observability pipelines often struggle with shard explosion, indexing bottlenecks, JVM pressure, and slow queries. This session presents a practical architecture for operating an OpenSearch observability platform handling 100M+ logs per day from Kubernetes...

Migrating OpenSearch To AWS Graviton — Performance, Cost Savings, and Strategies at Scale - Dileep Dora, Freshworks

Monday June 15, 2026 10:50am - 11:30am IST

204

We migrated ~1,500 OpenSearch nodes across 7 clusters in 5 regions from Intel to AWS Graviton 4, upgrading from OpenSearch 2.13 to 3.4 and JVM 17 to 21 along the way. We saw 2x indexing throughput and ~30% cost savings. We want to share the benchmarking data, compare migration strategies (inline upgrade, snapshot-restore, and why CCS didn't work), and push more teams toward Graviton. A practical...

Beyond Top-K: Building Search-Confidence Guardrails for Agentic AI With OpenSearch - Chanpreet Singh & Shatakshi Pandey, Amazon

Monday June 15, 2026 10:50am - 11:30am IST

205

Large Language Model agents frequently rely on retrieval systems to make decisions, yet most pipelines still depend on a naive top-k retrieval strategy. In agentic workflows this can lead to a dangerous failure mode: agents confidently acting on low-relevance results, amplifying hallucinations through iterative tool use. This session presents a practical framework for implementing...

Monday June 15, 2026 11:40am - 12:00pm IST

205

When a search cluster slows down, the first question is: what's running right now? Until recently, OpenSearch had no answer. Top N Queries shows what was slow after the fact, but by then the root cause may have disappeared.

Modern observability tools mostly index log lines, metrics, and traces as isolated events. But production incidents rarely happen because of a single event. They happen because of patterns of behavior across services. In this session, I’ll explore a different approach: indexing system execution paths instead of raw logs. Rather than storing individual log lines, request traces are converted...
