This roadmap is a tentative plan for the core development team. Things change constantly as PRs come in and priorities change.
But it will give you an idea of our current vision and plan.
# Short term (1-4 months)
- New Heatmap Panel (Implemented and available in master)
- Support for MySQL & Postgres as data sources (Work started and a alpha version for MySQL is available in master)
- User Groups & Dashboard folders with ACLs (work started, not yet completed, https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/1611#issuecomment-287742633)
- Improve new user UX
- Improve docs
- Support for alerting for Elasticsearch (can be tested in [branch](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/tree/alerting-elasticsearch) but needs more work)
# Long term
- Improved dashboard panel layout engine (to make it easier and enable more flexible layouts)
- Backend plugins to support more Auth options, Alerting data sources & notifications
- Universial time series transformations for any data source (meta queries)
