Developers build with OpenSearch for use cases such as application search, log analytics, data observability, data ingestion, and more. OpenSearch consists of a data store and search engine (OpenSearch), and a visualization and user interface (OpenSearch Dashboards). Users can extend the functionality of OpenSearch with a selection of plugins that enhance search, security, performance analysis, machine learning, and more. To get started with OpenSearch, visit our [downloads](https://opensearch.org/downloads.html) page, check out our [documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest), and explore the project on [Github](https://github.com/opensearch-project). **Open source flexibility** As a fully open source solution, OpenSearch offers you the freedom to modify, extend, monetize, and resell the product as you see fit, as well as the flexibility to deploy on a variety of infrastructures. At the same time, the OpenSearch project provides a secure, high-quality search and analytics suite with a rich [roadmap](https://github.com/orgs/opensearch-project/projects/1) of new and innovative functionality. **A community-driven approach** OpenSearch is built with your input. The project is maintained and advanced by a [community](https://forum.opensearch.org/), including a network of [partners](https://opensearch.org/partners/), and is open to contribution. As noted in the project’s [principles for development](https://opensearch.org/about.html#principles-for-development), great open source software is built together, with a diverse community of contributors. We invite you to [get involved](https://opensearch.org/connect.html).
