What is Grafana Cloud?

Grafana Cloud is the hosted version of the Grafana observability stack: Grafana dashboards, Mimir for metrics (Prometheus-compatible), Loki for logs, Tempo for traces, and Pyroscope for profiling. Generous free tier and composable open-source backends make it popular with engineering-led teams who want to avoid Datadog-style lock-in while still skipping the ops toil of self-hosting.
