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.

Our Elastic Cloud Serverless roadmap reflects only our strategic goals and objectives and includes estimated release dates and proposed descriptions for commercial features. 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.

Ongoing
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 design
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, if required, their revocation, instantly rendering all data unusable.

Planned
Migration
Serverless data migration

Seamlessly migrate your data into an Elasticsearch Serverless project. A new import tool will allow you to ingest existing Elasticsearch snapshots from your self-managed environments or from clusters hosted on Elastic Cloud. This provides a straightforward path for moving your data to our serverless platform.

Planned
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
Elastic AI
Elastic Managed LLM for Playground, AI Assistants, and more

Customers can get started with Elastic AI for AI-powered search use cases faster than ever by trying out Playground, an AI Assistant with a preconfigured LLM. Get early access by submitting the Elastic Managed LLM Access form.

In progress
Vector Database
Filtered HNSW search: Fast mode

Customers can soon utilize ACORN for a 5x speed up on search.

In progress
Elastic AI
ELSER, e5, and Elastic Rerank available with GPU

Elastic AI models for semantic search and reranking, faster than ever with GPU.

Planned
Elastic AI
Elastic Rerank in GA

ISO 27701: In progress for AWS, GCP & Azure.
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.
