Grafana Cloud is the managed observability platform from Grafana Labs, bundling metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and real user monitoring into one hosted service. Built on the company's open-source stack (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and Faro), it is open-source and self-hostable for teams that prefer to run the components themselves. It targets organizations already invested in open-source observability tooling who want a managed option, and it offers a generous free tier with usage-based paid plans. Founded in 2014, it covers SOC2, ISO27001, and HIPAA compliance and serves both startups and enterprises.
