Our team uses loki and I have to say I think their collected helm charts are pretty easy to use - my problem is more that it seems to be quite slow to run on-prem. Very often my loki query times out and I have to do more work filtering down the log lines or selecting a narrower time range.
I'm kind of amazed the UI doesn't select small time ranges iteratively to build up the response, especially since I believe this is what the CLI does. Perhaps this is also part of their cloud offering provides and it is part of their marketing strategy. Not a good one because if we came down to the decision I would start by looking for something else from being p'ed off by Loki.
But I guess it still works pretty well considering it is free.

The Grafana backend Mimir / Loki / Tempo products all appear to be architected pretty similar, and I'm more experienced operating Mimir, but the answer to read load often has to just do with right-sizing the deployment scale, and using caches aggressively.
