Grafana Loki 2021: Year in review
This year, we were excited to deliver the easiest version of Grafana Loki to use yet. With Loki 2.4, the Loki team introduced a simple, scalable deployment, and over the past 12 months, we added lots of great new features. Not to mention, we launched Grafana Enterprise Logs, a new addition to the Grafana Enterprise Stack that’s powered by Loki.
But none of this would have been possible without our active community: In 2021, Loki had 166 contributors and 823 PRs in GItHub.
