Deepen your technical knowledge with self-paced sections. From foundational cloud setups to advanced observability practices, these journeys guide you through hands-on exercises in your own cloud stack - helping you confidently scale and strengthen your observability strategy.
Database Observability
Monitor database health, query performance, connections, and replication with Grafana Cloud Database Observability. Go beyond basic metrics to see exactly which queries are slow, which connections are consuming resources, and where bottlenecks occur. In this journey, you'll learn three approaches to database monitoring in Grafana Cloud, understand when to use each, and get hands-on experience setting up monitoring for your database.
Grafana Cloud: Is It Right for Me?
Decide whether Grafana Cloud is right for you. Learn how it brings your telemetry together, scales without your backend management, maintains compliance and security, adds AI capabilities, offers turnkey solutions, and speeds up incident response.
Getting started with k6 performance testing
Learn to write, run, and analyze k6 performance tests, from your first script to automated baselines that catch slow responses, timeouts, and errors under load with Grafana Cloud.
Introduction to data sources
Explore common Grafana data sources, understand the trade-offs of data source connections versus other approaches, and make informed decisions about which option is right for you.
Introduction to Cloud Provider Observability
Set up observability for your cloud provider accounts and services using Grafana.
Introduction to integrations
Grafana integrations are turnkey monitoring packages for over 100 common technologies. Each one bundles a preconfigured Grafana Alloy setup, prebuilt dashboards, and recommended alerts, so you get monitoring in minutes instead of building it from scratch. In this journey, you'll learn what an integration is, how it differs from a data source connection, and how to set one up and use the dashboards and alerts it comes with.
Send data from external collectors
Learn how to send metrics and logs to Grafana Cloud from Prometheus, InfluxDB, Graphite, and other external collectors.
Explore your infrastructure data with Grafana Drilldown apps
Explore metrics and logs interactively without writing queries. Use Drilldown apps to investigate infrastructure health visually through a point-and-click interface.
