The Kibana team, led by Raya Fratkina, is actively working on several enhancements and updates to the platform. Key developments include the transition of Discover’s result tables to the EuiDataGrid component, promising a more user-friendly layout akin to the Lens interface, which addresses user requests and sets the stage for future improvements. Additionally, the team has integrated query cancellation and asynchronous search capabilities into Kibana, introducing a new search strategy that facilitates asynchronous requests and enhances efficiency by managing Elasticsearch connections. The platform also enhanced its search functionality to support frozen indices and rollups while removing reliance on EsClient. For Kibana users, upgrades are now more robust, even with ongoing Elasticsearch snapshots, and there are UI updates to assist administrators with deprecated roles. Plugin developers benefit from the ability to register SavedObject types, and changes in UI application integration require minor adjustments. Moreover, new APIs for internal metrics and optional authentication for HTTP routes have been introduced, alongside enhancements for plugin developers to improve routing and security features. The team is also hiring for several roles, including Senior JavaScript Engineer and Principal Product Manager positions.
