Grafana Labs

Grafana Labs, founded in 2014, develops an open and composable observability platform that lets organisations visualise, analyse and act on their data. The company combines open source tools with a fully managed cloud offering. Its software is used by more than 25 million people worldwide, and the firm serves over 7,000 customers, ranging from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises.

The product portfolio is built around open source projects. Grafana, an open source data visualisation and dashboarding tool, accounts for millions of dashboards created. Loki handles log aggregation, Mimir metrics storage and monitoring, Tempo distributed tracing and Pyroscope continuous profiling. Together with Grafana these form the LGTM+ Stack, a unified system for metrics, logs, traces and profiles. Grafana Cloud provides the same capabilities as a fully managed service and reports more than $150m in annual recurring revenue.

The company employs over 1,400 people distributed across more than 40 countries, and operates as a remote, globally dispersed workforce. Technical work spans observability, data visualisation, logging, metrics, distributed tracing, continuous profiling, open source software, cloud-managed services and AI-powered observability. Customers are drawn from financial services, technology, artificial intelligence, sports and events, aerospace and space exploration, environmental and climate monitoring, and enterprise software.

Grafana Labs describes its culture as rooted in open source principles and community contribution. The company runs the annual GrafanaCON and ObservabilityCON conferences, and maintains a large open source community alongside its commercial products.
