It has been over nine years since Grafana was begun as a hobby project before becoming the wildly popular monitoring and observability platform it is today, known and loved for monitoring, metrics, and data visualization on a sleek and shiny interface. While less interesting from a pure technology perspective, Grafana’s staffers have ballooned to over 750 staffers since Grafana Labs co-founder https://se.linkedin.com/in/torkel-odegaard first started the Grafana project in 2013.

This begs the question of what Grafana Labs as a company must and should do now to maintain its status as the go-to alternative for observability and data visualizations.

“This is a big mission here at Grafana Labs and the focus, in general, is to make monitoring observability and data visualization easier and more accessible to more people,” Ödegaard said.

For data sources for data visualization, Google Sheets is not a default Grafana data source.
