Grafana
Full-stack observability for the agentic era
Grafana Cloud is an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform that brings metrics, logs, traces, profiles, and business data into one place, helping teams understand systems, resolve incidents, and improve AI applications. It is built on open source projects including Grafana, Loki, Mimir, Tempo, k6, Pyroscope, Faro, Beyla, and Alloy, and connects to existing tools and data sources without requiring a full stack migration.
Core capabilities include Grafana Assistant for natural-language production queries, Investigations for automated incident analysis, Agent Observability for tracking AI token usage and model costs, and Adaptive Telemetry for managing data volume and spend. The platform also offers incident response, testing and synthetic monitoring, Kubernetes Monitoring, Application Observability, Grafana SLO, and RUM. Integrations span databases, cloud platforms, CI/CD tools, and third-party observability products, with support for open standards like OpenTelemetry and Prometheus.
Grafana Cloud is aimed at engineering and operations teams, from personal projects to large enterprises. It is packaged in three tiers: a free plan with usage limits and community support, a self-serve pro plan with usage-based pricing and email support, and an enterprise plan with premium support, custom retention, and deployment flexibility across public cloud, federal cloud, or bring-your-own-cloud options.
