AWS – Amazon OpenSearch Serverless now supports point in time (PIT) search

Amazon OpenSearch Serverless has added support for Point in Time (PIT) search, enabling you to run multiple queries against a dataset fixed at a specific moment. This feature allows 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.

Point in time search 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.

Point in time search on Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is now available in 15 regions globally: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe West (Paris), Europe West (London), Asia Pacific South (Mumbai), South America (Sao Paulo), Canada Central (Montreal), Asia Pacific (Seoul). and Europe (Zurich).
