OpenSearch Software Foundation expands its enterprise ecosystem with new members Adelean, Intel, and Sidecar, and certifies LTS providers Seacom and Sidecar to bolster production stability.

OpenSearchCon North America unfolds in San Jose, California, from September 22–24, 2026, with registration details available in the coverage.

Momentum is evident as total contributors rise 31% year over year, with regional gains in Latin America (43%), Japan (33%), India (16%), and Europe (10%), alongside a 140% YoY surge in downloads to surpass 2.4 billion.

OpenSearch is framed as a vendor-neutral platform for enterprise search, observability, analytics, and vector databases, designed to reduce vendor lock-in and future-proof organizations.

New General Members will actively participate in working groups, contribute to technical initiatives, and guide the Foundation’s strategic direction, with Intel continuing its open-source contributions to optimize performance through hardware acceleration.

Context from the Linux Foundation and OpenSearch Foundation underlines the project as a growing open-source ecosystem backed by major members and community contributors.

Certified LTS providers Seacom and Sidecar join the vendor directory to deliver production-ready software stability, extended maintenance windows, and predictable upgrade paths.
