Cost attribution in Grafana Cloud: Manage spend across observability and testing workflows

Knowing what you're spending on observability is useful. Knowing which team, service, or project is driving that spend is what actually lets you act on that information. Cost attribution is a core part of how Grafana Cloud approaches cost management and optimization.

Sentry + GitHub Copilot Agents

Seer, Sentry's agent debugger, analyzes your issues and finds the root cause.

The technology has moved from a research topic into a compliance deadline, and the algorithms protecting your data today were built for a world without quantum computers.

Why Regular IT Health Checks Help Prevent Downtime and Improve Business Resilience

Most IT problems do not announce themselves. A backup job quietly fails for three weeks before anyone notices. A firewall rule left open "temporarily" during a project stays open for a year. A former employee's account still has admin rights nobody remembered to remove. None of these cause trouble on the day they happen. They cause trouble later, usually at the worst possible time. This very difference between when these problems start and when they finally become a source of trouble is precisely what a routine IT health check is supposed to bridge.

The case against the internet's most optimistic button

The save for later button has quietly developed a bad reputation. It is associated with every overflowing bookmarks folder, every article we'll "definitely read this weekend", and every YouTube playlist titled Watch Later that's slowly turning into a historical archive.
