Grafana Labs provides the leading AI-powered observability platform, built around Grafana—the most widely adopted open source technology for dashboards and visualization. Recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms, Grafana Labs supports more than 25 million users and thousands of organizations worldwide, from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. Grafana Cloud is the open observability cloud, delivering full-stack visibility across modern applications, infrastructure, and digital services. Built on open source, open standards, and open ecosystems, the platform unifies metrics, logs, traces, and profiles into a scalable observability experience that helps teams detect issues earlier, resolve incidents faster, and operate more efficiently. At the core of Grafana Cloud is the open-source LGTM stack: Grafana for dashboards and visualization, Mimir for scalable metrics, Loki for logs, and Tempo for distributed tracing. Native OpenTelemetry and Prometheus support make it easy to collect telemetry from any environment, while hundreds of integrations connect existing systems and tools—allowing organizations to extend observability without vendor lock-in. Grafana Cloud also introduces powerful AI-driven observability capabilities. Grafana Assistant helps teams explore data, investigate incidents, and troubleshoot faster through an intelligent interface built for engineers. Adaptive Telemetry identifies high-value signals and aggregates the rest, helping organizations reduce telemetry costs while maintaining operational insight. With solutions spanning Kubernetes monitoring, application and infrastructure observability, frontend monitoring, database observability, incident response, synthetic monitoring, and performance testing, Grafana Cloud delivers the clarity teams need to move faster and operate with confidence.

LocalOps offers a modern, cloud-agnostic internal developer platform aimed at enhancing the efficiency of engineering teams working with AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure, especially those who face challenges due to a lack of DevOps skills or experience delays in release cycles caused by DevOps-related issues. This platform allows teams to enjoy a developer experience akin to that of Vercel, Fly, or Heroku, all within the confines of their own cloud infrastructure. By connecting their AWS, GCP, or Azure accounts and integrating their GitHub repositories, teams can deploy services in under 30 minutes without the cumbersome tasks of manually configuring AWS resources, writing Dockerfiles, establishing CI/CD pipelines, or crafting Terraform scripts. They benefit from self-service access to AWS, which facilitates automatic deployments via Git push, and can track logs and metrics right away through a pre-configured open-source monitoring suite that features Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki. Moreover, they have the capability to scale resources infinitely within their cloud account at a lower cost, utilizing any available cloud credits to offset the costs of cloud resources. This streamlined approach empowers teams to deploy, monitor, automate, and scale their applications effortlessly, enhancing productivity in their own cloud environments, ultimately leading to a more agile development process.
