Description

Description

Goal: Make 3.x primary for reads and writes, shadow write to 1.0 for safety
Timeline: 1 week
Business Impact: None if successful - transparent
Status: 📋 Planned

Desired Outcome

Business Outcome:

OpenSearch 3.x becomes the production system of record for all search operations while maintaining the proven 1.0 cluster as a synchronized backup, giving customers a modern, supported search infrastructure with continued zero downtime and the safety of instant rollback capability.

Technical Outcome:

All write operations (index, update, delete) successfully migrated to OpenSearch 3.x cluster as primary, with shadow writes to 1.0 cluster for safety, achieving <1 second write latency and 100% write success rate while maintaining ability to revert to 1.0 as primary within minutes if issues arise.
