What you give up either way
- SLA-backed uptime and enterprise support
- Compliance certifications (FedRAMP, PCI DSS, SOC2) out of the box
- Adaptive telemetry cost-optimization and usage-based platform features
- Scale and operational experience for large-scale ingestion and retention tuning
- Integrated managed integrations and polished multi-tenant UX
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Grafana Cloud, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
