Unified storage for playlists
We’re excited to introduce unified storage for playlists in self-managed Grafana!
When Grafana v12.4 starts, the migration system automatically transfers your playlists from the legacy SQL database to unified storage and validates data integrity after the migration completes.
We’ve built this system to run independently for each organization in your Grafana instance, ensuring reliable and isolated migrations. Unified storage brings playlists in self-managed Grafana to parity with Grafana Cloud, providing a modern, consistent storage backend for your resources. This is the first step in a broader effort to migrate all Grafana resources to unified storage—folders, dashboards, and library panels will follow. After playlist migrations are complete, the legacy playlist table will be deprecated.
