How Grafana Labs switched to Karpenter to reduce costs and complexities in Amazon EKS

Nov 9, 2023 By Paula Julve, Logan Ballard In Grafana

At Grafana Labs we meet our users where they are. We run our services in every major cloud provider, so they can have what they need, where they need it. But of course, different providers offer different services — and different challenges. When we first landed on AWS in 2022 and began using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), we went with Cluster Autoscaler (CA) as our autoscaling tool of choice.

Zero-code application observability with Grafana Beyla and eBPF: demo

Nov 9, 2023 By Grafana In Grafana
The eBPF-based OSS auto-instrumentation tool Grafana Beyla makes it easier to get started with application observability. Beyla provides RED (Rate, Errors, Duration) metrics through OpenTelemetry or Prometheus for your existing web services, whichever language they are written in. You don’t need to change any line of application code or configuration; you only need to deploy the Beyla in the same host as the service that you want to monitor. Collecting monitoring data with the eBPF autoinstrument tool has very low overhead, and allows you to capture data about your runtime, which is impossible with manual code instrumentation. Watch this in-depth demo of how to use Grafana Beyla to get started with application observability.

Grafana panel titles: Why we changed from center to left-aligned

Nov 8, 2023 By Alexa Vargas Ortega, Patrick O'Carroll In Grafana

As Grafana evolved over the years, so did our panel headers. In our quest for improvement, we continually added design options that created more comprehensive panels, but also an increasingly complex interface. It was a process of continual adaptation without a roadmap — which, though well-intentioned, began to result in unforeseen challenges.
