The Elastic Public Roadmap is here

Source: Elastic Blog

Introduction

There is a specific kind of pain that every developer knows: you spend weeks building something custom and testing it until it’s ready for production. Then you finally deploy it, only to read the release notes for Elastic’s latest version and realize you just built it natively.

Nobody likes reinventing the wheel, especially when a better version is right around the corner. You didn’t need to write that code; you just needed to know that we were writing it.

We want to help you avoid that wasted effort.

Today, I am excited to announce the launch of the Elastic Public Roadmap on GitHub.

Publishing our public roadmap is a reflection of our open‑source roots and aligns with our commitment to putting our customers first. We believe that getting our plans out in the open will help drive shared focus, keep internal teams in sync, and enable customers and the community to plan their own projects more effectively.

What’s on the Elastic Public Roadmap?

The roadmap captures and shares information about planned launches, increasing visibility into upcoming features, capabilities, and enhancements.

How far into the future will you be able to see?

The Elastic Public Roadmap looks ahead across near‑ and mid‑term priorities. If you click through to GitHub today, you’ll see how much time we’re dedicating to improving everything from Streams to Elastic Agent Builder to Elastic Workflows and more.

Are there any navigational tips and tricks?

In general, our GitHub‑native roadmap is easy to navigate. The default view is a calendar view—segmented by what’s currently In Process, what’s Coming Next, and what will Follow Soon. On the left‑hand side you’ll notice a column titled Key Initiatives, which lists areas and projects where we’ve prioritized active development.

Clicking any card opens a dialog box explaining the feature, its target audience, and the value proposition for customers and the community.

You can also filter by solution. For example, if you are interested only in Elastic Security, click the corresponding tab at the top of the roadmap to see only those features, capabilities, and enhancements.

Search functionality makes it easy to find, for example, what features were released with Elastic 9.3 (“v9.3.0”), or which features are currently “In Process.”

You now have the map. It’s time to explore.

This is an exciting day for everyone working with Elastic’s products and solutions. I invite you to visit the Elastic Public Roadmap on GitHub today, and don’t forget to come back often—we will be making updates on a regular basis.

The release and timing of any features or functionality described in this post remain at Elastic’s sole discretion. Any features or functionality not currently available may not be delivered on time or at all.
