The Power of Metrics, Logs & Traces with Open Source
summary
Claims that combining open source Mimir, Loki and Tempo cuts MTTR and that Grafana Agent plus Faro add front-end traces and web vitals. Demo shows metrics → logs → traces correlation, log-to-metric recording rules and tracing from browser to DB. Loki 2.7 yields ~4x faster queries with ~50% less CPU, example clusters ingest 700 MB/s → 43 TB/day on ~170 cores, and an index case shrinks 10 TB → 200 MB. Notes: Faro requires bundling (webpack) and k6 browser for load testing.
