Ditching OpenSearch: How I Saved $200/Month on Rails Search

Описание: Running your Rails app on AWS OpenSearch? You might be burning cash for no reason.

In this video, I show you how I migrated my production Rails app to a self-hosted Elasticsearch 7.10.2 instance on Hetzner — cutting costs by 80%, gaining control, and improving visibility.

You'll see:
The exact scripts I used (scroll + reimport)
How I recreated mappings and aliases
The facepalm bug I uncovered (and fixed!)
Validation tips for zero-downtime migrations
