Data points per minute in Grafana Cloud: What you need to know about DPM
If you’re working with metrics in Grafana Cloud, chances are you’ve come across DPM (data points per minute). It shows up in usage dashboards, invoice breakdowns, and occasionally pops up in Slack when your ingestion numbers start looking suspicious. DPM can also be seen in the Grafana Cloud billing and usage dashboard, which is available by default in every Grafana Cloud account. It helps you understand how much data you’re sending—and whether it’s more than you need.
Implementing Grafana Play privacy policies with Grafana k6: A behind-the-scenes look

An Autonomous Ship is Set to Circumnavigate the World Using Docker, Grafana, & Starlink: Project Bob
Join Andrew McCalip of Varda Space Industries as he builds Project Bob—a DIY, solar-powered, autonomous ship aiming to circumnavigate the globe using open source tools like Grafana, Raspberry Pi, and Starlink.
Database observability: How OpenTelemetry semantic conventions improve consistency across signals
Databases are a crucial part of modern systems, which means database observability is incredibly important, too. However, gathering information on them can be complex, variable, and tricky to instrument in a consistent way. OpenTelemetry is helping to change that, and one of the most important aspects in making it work is a set of shared rules called semantic conventions.
Optimizing the end-user experience: How to perform a browser check in Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring
Synthetic monitoring is a vital practice to proactively track the health and performance of web applications. Instead of waiting for users to report problems, synthetic monitoring helps developers catch issues before they impact real users. One powerful type of synthetic monitoring is the browser check. These checks go beyond basic ping checks, simulating how a user would actually interact with your website’s interface.
