Summary

Grafana Labs has introduced several updates and products aimed at enhancing observability for large enterprises, including Grafana Metrics Enterprise (GME), which offers Prometheus-as-a-Service built on Cortex to enable scalable monitoring solutions. Additionally, a new Prometheus-style alerting feature for Grafana Cloud simplifies the alerting process without requiring extra tools or command-line interaction. The launch of the GitHub data source plugin allows users to visualize GitHub data, while updates to the Dynatrace plugin facilitate the creation of user-friendly dashboards from Metrics API v2 data. The article also mentions Grafana's recent community engagements, such as co-founder Torkel Ödegaard's appearance on a Kubernetes Podcast and the upcoming Grafana ObservabilityCON, which promises live talks and demos on open-source observability technologies like Prometheus and Loki. Furthermore, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation survey highlights Prometheus and Grafana as the top recommended observability technologies.
