Grafana Cloud is a great product but the pricing scheme really scared me away.
With 10 physical servers, 10 services, 10 pods each, 100 metrics (counters, histograms, etc), and you'll be spending $728/month on Grafana Cloud.
The equivalent from AWS managed Prometheus is ~$300/month in my experience. Hosting your own is also far far cheaper.
- tootie 4y agoI'm so dubious of any commercial product with a free tier. They exist as a sales funnel not a gift to users. A few products (Sentry is a good example in this space) offer an open source, self-hosted option. Software is free and you take on the operational cost yourself. If I'm an enterprise I assume I'm paying thousands a month and just do a cost-benefit analysis on whatever is in the market knowing that developer hours are wildly expensive.
