Grafana Labs
Open-source observability platform for metrics, logs and traces — a Swedish alternative to Datadog.
About
Grafana Labs is a Swedish company that develops and maintains the Grafana open-source observability stack — Grafana (dashboards), Loki (log aggregation), Tempo (distributed tracing), and Mimir (metrics) — plus the managed Grafana Cloud service. Originally open-source and community-driven, Grafana has become the de facto standard for infrastructure and application observability. Grafana Cloud offers an EU-hosted region with GDPR-compliant data processing and a signed DPA. The entire stack is open-source and self-hostable on EU infrastructure — a popular choice for teams running Prometheus-based monitoring on Hetzner or OVHcloud. Grafana Labs was founded in Stockholm and retains strong EU engineering roots despite now having a global presence.
