Akamai achieves zero Severity 1 incidents with OpenSearch and BigData Boutique

Akamai migrated its analytics infrastructure from proprietary Elasticsearch to OpenSearch to reduce licensing costs and eliminate vendor lock-in while processing over 3TB of data daily. By partnering with BigData Boutique for enterprise support and proactive monitoring, the company achieved zero Severity 1 incidents since 2024 without needing to expand its engineering team. This transition demonstrates how open-source solutions can enhance operational stability and cost-efficiency for high-scale data environments.
