In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Elastic community, which includes a diverse range of sectors such as hospitals, media, and online retailers, is encouraged to share their experiences and adaptations using the Elastic Stack through the #ElasticStories hashtag. This initiative aims to connect businesses and organizations within the community, allowing them to exchange best practices and innovative solutions during these challenging times. Originally launched to share Elastic Stack stories, the hashtag's focus has temporarily shifted to highlight how various entities are utilizing the platform to address the demands of the pandemic, maintaining a commitment to fostering a free and open community.
