The Grafana Stack: Building a Highly Available, Scalable Observability Platform
summary
Shows how to build a high-availability, scalable observability platform using Grafana and its ecosystem projects—Mimir, Loki, Tempo, Promtail, and Grafana Agent—to cover metrics, logs, and traces. Compares that Grafana-centered stack with common alternatives like Prometheus, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry, and ELK to explain the benefits and architectural choices.
