AWS – Amazon OpenSearch Serverless now supports Point in Time (PIT) and SQL search in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Amazon OpenSearch Serverless has added support for Point in Time (PIT) search and SQL in AWS GovCloud US-East and US-West Regions, enabling you to run multiple queries against a dataset fixed at a specific moment. With PIT search you to maintain consistent search results even as your data continues to change, making it particularly useful for applications that require deep pagination or need to preserve a stable view of data across multiple queries. OpenSearch SQL API allows you to leverage your existing SQL skills and tools to analyze data stored in your collections.

PIT supports both forward and backward navigation through search results, ensuring consistency even during ongoing data ingestion. This feature is ideal for e-commerce applications, content management systems, and analytics platforms that require reliable and consistent search capabilities across large datasets. SQL and PPL API support addresses the need for familiar query syntax and improved integration with existing analytics tools, benefiting data analysts and developers who work with OpenSearch Serverless collections.
