Should we use Grafana Cloud or self-host?

Grafana Cloud is best for teams wanting managed infrastructure. Self-hosting gives more control and can be more cost-effective at scale. We help with both.

Can Grafana replace Datadog?

The Grafana stack (with Prometheus, Loki, Tempo) provides similar capabilities to Datadog at significantly lower cost, especially at scale. Trade-off is more operational responsibility.

Can we manage dashboards with GitOps?

Yes. We implement dashboard-as-code with Terraform, Grafonnet, or JSON provisioning for version-controlled, reviewable dashboard management.
