Elastic Cloud Serverless roadmap

Stay updated on Elastic Cloud Serverless — the fastest way to start and scale security, observability, and search. Experience hassle-free scaling, all powered by a rearchitected Elasticsearch.

This page is a summarized version of our Elastic Cloud Serverless roadmap.* It reflects our key initiatives and objectives and includes the implementation status and proposed descriptions for these initiatives.

For the full Serverless roadmap as well as the roadmap of all other Elastic products, please refer to our public roadmap on GitHub.

*All information is subject to change. Information may be updated, added, or removed from this roadmap as features or products become available, canceled, or postponed.

Upcoming features

Category
Feature
Status
Cloud Provider Support
Cloud region expansion

Additional regions for AWS, GCP, and Azure to allow you to store your project data anywhere.

In progress
Usability
Cross project search

Seamlessly explore, visualize, and receive alerts on data across your organization's serverless projects with cross project search. Whether your projects are spread across different cloud providers, regions, or project types, cross project search brings all of your data together.

In progress
Security
Bring your own key

Bring your own key (BYOK) adds another layer of protection to your sensitive data by encrypting data at rest with your own keys. Providing encryption keys increases data confidentiality requirements and data disposal. You retain total control over your keys and their lifecycle.

Planned
Migration
Serverless data migration

Migrate your data and Kibana assets (dashboards, visualizations, rules, and more) into a serverless project.
Initial support introduced already: the ability to reindex data from Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments into a serverless project.
Additional tooling planned:
1. Reindex data from an Elasticsearch snapshot
2. Kibana assets as code, which will allow users to export definitions from any Elasticsearch cluster and import them into a serverless project.

In progress
Data Management
Save and restore user backups

Safeguard your critical data with the ability to create and manage your own backups directly within your serverless project. This feature will allow you to perform on-demand backups and restore your data to a previous state, giving you more control over your data protection and recovery strategies.

Planned
Security
Network security: Private connectivity

Add another layer of security to your serverless deployments by restricting inbound traffic to only the sources that you trust.

Establish a dedicated, private connection to your Elastic serverless projects using AWS PrivateLink, Azure Private Link, or Google Cloud PSC. Keep sensitive data off the public internet to meet strict security and compliance requirements, control access from your VPC, and reduce data transfer costs.

In AWS shipped; Azure and GCP in progress
Pricing
Cost control and usage transparency

Customers can get detailed insights to understand how their resource consumption drives their Serverless bills as well as the ability to define budget alerts.

Organization-wide cost alerts shipped; project-level cost alerts in progress
Monitoring
Performance monitoring

Customers can use AutoOps to monitor their project performance and understand how it correlates with resource consumption across the billing dimensions.

In progress
Compliance
Log delivery

Customers can get easy access to their project logs (slow logs, ES|QL query logs, audit logs, etc) in order to better understand how to tune their queries, but also satisfy compliance requirements.
