### AI overview

Elastic announced the general availability of cross-project search for Elastic Cloud Serverless. It lets teams query multiple linked projects in a single session across regions, project types, and cloud providers, while keeping data in place and avoiding certificates, remote-cluster configuration, and per-connection authentication.

### Source excerpt

Cross-project search is now GA on Elastic Cloud Serverless. Link multiple projects and query all of them from a single Discover or ES|QL session: no certificates, no remote cluster config, and three clicks to set up. Available from September 1, 2026.

## Elastic build machines now use Turborepo cache hits to prevent downgrades

### AI overview

Vercel's Elastic build machines now account for Turborepo cache hits when deciding whether to downgrade build resources. Warm-cache builds no longer cause a downgrade, helping ensure later cold-cache builds have enough CPU and memory to complete successfully.

### Source excerpt

Elastic build machines now consider Turborepo cache hits when deciding whether to use a smaller build machine. A warm-cache build no longer triggers a downgrade. A warm-cache build can use less CPU and memory than the same build with a cold cache. Downgrading based on that lower usage could leave a later cold-cache build without enough resources to complete successfully. This change applies automatically to all builds using Elastic build machines. No action is required. Learn more in the build documentation. Read more

### AI overview

The article describes how Lansweeper evolved its analytics architecture as its technology asset intelligence platform expanded across IT, OT, and IoT environments. After MongoDB became insufficient for fast, flexible analytics and Elasticsearch became expensive at scale, Lansweeper moved through an Elasticsearch-based pipeline and ClickHouse OSS before adopting ClickHouse Cloud for high-performance, real-time querying.

### Source excerpt

"ClickHouse outperformed Elastic in every single test. Sometimes it was 10 times faster--even on slower hardware, because we were testing ClickHouse on our laptops and Elastic on production machines." Juan Carlos Lloret Hernández, Lead Developer

### AI overview

A reflection on a digital observability team after a major Elastic logging-cluster upgrade ahead of Black Friday. The author identifies leadership support, mutual respect, and cooperation during on-call work as qualities that contributed to the team's accomplishments.

### Source excerpt

It is 7:30 AM on a Monday morning in late October. I am waiting in line at Cafe Donuts to bring my team breakfast for our mandated 'no work for one hour'. We just wrapped up a strenuous week of implementing a major upgrade to our Elastic logging cluster. Many digital teams are relying on this upgrade to position themselves to confidently monitor their application health during the most important day in retail - Black Friday. It was a successful, much anticipated upgrade that resulted in many hours of overtime, late night calls, and cross-team performance tests. Morale is high, but it hasn't always been. It has been over three months since the team disassembled to work on new initiatives. I have since had a chance to reflect on the qualities of the team that made it so unique. I can't speak for my colleagues, but the accomplishments we made over six months are my proudest achievements in my five year tenure at Target. Leadership support Our leaders truly supported and enabled our work to be successful. They gave us the resources and confidence to confront organizational blockers and competing priorities. They helped us celebrate wins by providing recognition through updates to high level executives and advertising our achievements in forums. They took risks for us, trusted us to make decisions, and went to bat for us even when there was doubt that we could deliver on our promises. Respect This quality is near and dear to my heart. I never witnessed competition, resentment, distrust, or judgement among the team. Everyone truly respected one another and their unique perspectives. We were all aligned, working towards the same goals, and were in it together. Lead engineers partnered with junior engineers to ensure they understood the entire tech stack and could independently support our customers. I personally felt like my opinions and ideas mattered. On call schedules were set, but we supported one another through escalations and incidents. As a primary on call member,
