Description
Grafana Cloud is a hosted solution for Grafana, with a free tier that supports a single user and up to 5 dashboards, and paid tiers for additional support. Using a hosted solution would have some benefits:
-
Supported and maintained by Grafana. We wouldn't need to worry about upgrading our service or ensuring its reliability.
-
Reliability and backups. This would make it less important for us to keep our Grafana dashboard configuration in source control.
-
SSL and user accounts. Our GCP hosted solution doesn't currently have SSL, which means we don't have secure user accounts or the features of them (memos, perhaps others).
It's not clear whether we need this or not, but we could explore it further.
