Why scale metrics with Grafana Cloud?

High performance at any scale

  • Operate Prometheus at scale with best-in-class metrics ingestion and querying performance 

  • Remove onboarding friction with 100% Prometheus compatibility, including remote-write, PromQL, alerting, and a query builder

  • Explore metrics easily by browsing Prometheus- and OpenTelemetry-compatible metrics via an intuitive, queryless experience using Grafana Metrics Drilldown

  • Query massive datasets faster by leveraging a sharded query engine for 10x improvement in query speed, and a scalable compactor for unlimited cardinality, tested up to 1 billion active series

Optimize metric cardinality

  • Understand cardinality at a glance by visualizing high-cardinality metrics and labels with out-of-the-box analysis dashboards

  • Attribute usage accurately by tracking metric volume to specific teams, services, or products through usage groups

  • Reduce waste and control costs by identifying and eliminating costly unused and partially used metrics with Adaptive Metrics

Streamline your hybrid observability operations

  • Support every metric format you need with compatibility for legacy and proprietary metric formats like Graphite, Datadog, and InfluxDB, as well as modern, vendor-agnostic standards like OpenTelemetry metrics

  • Avoid costly re-instrumentation by easily interoperating with any of these formats, without having to re-instrument agents or application code

  • Scale seamlessly with high availability, durable storage, and support for out-of-order sample ingestion

Seamlessly expand your observability stack in Grafana Cloud

Real stories from real customers

“[Migrating to Grafana Cloud] meant that we could focus on observability—getting the best out of the platform—without running it...Grafana Cloud Metrics has also helped the team cut costs. It’s cheaper to store this data in a Prometheus format. So by offsetting some logs to metrics and moving that data into Grafana Cloud Metrics, we were able to save a significant amount of money.”
