Activity Summary

Blocked in Syria. In October 2026 Elastic's trade compliance team told a community volunteer it will not permit sales to Syria for now because of US export licensing rules, and may reevaluate if they are relaxed; a second volunteer has since asked for a direct review.

Community Updates

Another community volunteer wrote to Elastic's legal team, noting that new testing shows Elastic itself is blocked from Syria alongside Jina AI, and asked that Elastic's own country restriction be reviewed directly.
