Very instructive article showing really how Open edX is rapidly improving.
Quick notes about what’s new to me:

A question about dependency upgrades:
- I was surprised to find ES updated to v7.x. There was a discussion in the BTR working group about switching from ElasticSearch to OpenSearch for support outside AWS. Is that information outdated ?
