Grafana Cloud

Overview

Grafana Cloud is the open and composable observability platform, built upon the powerful open-source Grafana stack (Mimir for metrics, Loki for logs, Tempo for traces). To leverage this power, the Storefront Hosting platform makes it easy to export your monitoring data to Grafana Cloud, unlocking its full potential. This out-of-the-box integration instantly provides real-time visualization and alerting across all three data streams, ensuring you can proactively troubleshoot issues and maintain a high-performance shopping experience for your business.
