In the observability space, it seems like everyone is talking about how to reduce costs and control the explosion of Prometheus metrics. It’s no wonder — our recent analysis of user environments suggests 20% to 50% of metrics generated are never used, but users are still stuck paying for them.
Interest in generative AI and large language models (LLMs) has exploded in popularity thanks to a slew of announcements and product releases, such as Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, OpenAI’s DALL-E, and ChatGPT. The arrival of ChatGPT in particular was a bellwether moment, especially for developers. For the first time, an LLM was readily available and good enough that even non-technical people could use it to generate prose, re-write emails, and generate code in seconds.
We’re excited to introduce a dedicated Grafana Cloud solution for Apache Mesos, an open-source project for managing clusters in your data center and at cloud scale. Apache Mesos is a distributed systems kernel, running on every machine in a cluster and providing easy orchestration of every resource in the cluster. This allows you to treat compute units, memory, and disk as a single pool of resources.

The frontend of a web application is the part that users directly interact with. It’s the last mile of the digital service you deliver to your customers and it’s directly associated with customer satisfaction and business objectives. Knowing performance metrics such as CPU or memory is helpful, but at the end of the day, what you care most about is if the user experience is affected.
