Summary

Grafana Labs has taken over the Infinity data source plugin, originally a side project, which has become a popular solution for visualizing data from diverse formats such as JSON, CSV, XML, and GraphQL within the Grafana community. Initially designed to overcome limitations of other plugins, Infinity quickly gained traction due to its ability to handle complex data without middleware and its support for key Grafana features like alerting. The plugin's growth led to a vibrant community that contributed to its development and feature expansion, resulting in millions of downloads. Now under Grafana Labs' stewardship, the plugin will benefit from enhanced support, new feature integration, and official documentation, while remaining open source and continuing to serve as a recommended plugin for various data visualization needs.
