How a regex simplification in Loki increased performance by up to 300x

When we graduated Loki into a GA release last year, there were more than 137 contributors who already made more than 1,000 contributions to the project. We also added hosted Loki to the lineup of Grafana Cloud offerings after it proved to be stable internally for our ops cluster, storing 40TB and half a trillion log lines each month. There was, however, one persistent problem that kept surfacing, especially for developers who were writing applications in Go: The regex package was slow.

How Hiya migrated to Grafana Cloud to cut costs and gain control over its metrics

Last year, when a company that works with several of the world’s top carriers, OEMs, and enterprises to provide caller identity and spam blocking services for more than 120 million users needed to make changes to their monitoring service, Grafana Labs got the call. Hiya was founded in 2016, and from the start was a container-centric Kubernetes shop.

GrafanaCONline: Reducing wine waste with Grafana and machine learning

Did you know that Grafana pairs well with a fine wine? That’s what machine learning company ML6 discovered when they worked with their client Accolade Wines, an award-winning Australian vintner whose goal was to decrease the waste produced in its global operations. ML6 used Grafana and machine learning to reduce wine waste and deliver a 200% ROI for Accolade Wines in the first six months, reducing the company’s financial loss by an estimated £75,000.

The UX changes we made for Grafana 7.0 -- and what you can learn from them

Behind every part of Grafana, there are the ideas, creativity and commitment of the people who made it. While that includes code, it is not limited to it. Since August 2019, Grafana Labs has had a dedicated UX team, and we have been involved in countless recent features and improvements. We want to show you how we do our work, why you users are at the heart of everything we do – and most importantly, how design changes can make software better.
