What’s new with Grafana Labs’s Open Source Observability stack
summary
Grafana releases major Grafana 10 changes: cross-source correlations, a VS Code dashboard plugin, a new developer portal with scenes and a centralized data plane for permissions. Mimir targets horizontal Prometheus scale—claims “billion+ active series,” cuts read-path memory ~50%, adds Redis cache and native histogram query support. Loki moves to TSDB index format, shrinking index from ~100MB to ~20MB per TB. Tempo 2.0 adds TraceQL and Apache Parquet storage. Pyroscope acquisition enables continuous profiling (≈15% memory wins).
