Grafana Labs webinars: Reduce TCO, get to know Grafana Loki, and more

There are many ways to get involved with Grafana and our open source community, from playing in the Grafana sandbox to attending one of our local events or online conferences. Still, one of the easiest ways to see live demos, learn about current releases, and take a sneak peek at products that you might be interested in adding to your projects is to check out our webinars.

Our live webinars cover an array of topics for everyone, whether you’re just getting started with the Grafana LGTM stack (Loki for logs, Grafana for visualization, Tempo for traces, Mimir for metrics) or you need to rein in your high cardinality metrics and better understand your total cost of ownership (TCO) for your observability stack. And with each session, we also offer opportunities for live Q&A with our Grafana Labs experts to address your observability issues. 

While we host webinars across all time zones to reach our growing global community, we also offer our sessions on demand in case plans change or you prefer to watch at a time that’s more convenient for you. 

Here’s a look at the on-demand sessions you may have missed in January — and the upcoming webinars you’ll want to mark in your calendars.

Reduce your total cost of ownership (TCO) with the Grafana Stack

We kicked off 2023 by sharing how to reduce your observability TCO (total cost of ownership) with the Grafana Stack. Grafana Labs senior manager of solutions engineering Cyril Amsellem went over elements to consider (e.g., infrastructure, software, FTEs, downtime, etc.), and how to compute complex costs associated with choosing an observability platform.
