AI Firms Standardize on Grafana Cloud for Scalable Observability — Raintank Inc. (Grafana Labs)

Event summary

Grafana Labs announced that AI and technology companies 7AI, TeamSystem, and Zama are standardizing on Grafana Cloud for observability.
Grafana Labs' 4th Annual Observability Survey shows 50% of organizations now use managed observability solutions, up from 43% in 2025.
TeamSystem is using Grafana Cloud’s Adaptive Telemetry suite to reduce unnecessary data ingestion and control costs.
Zama is leveraging Grafana Cloud for real-time benchmarking of 54 unique FHE operations and blockchain transaction types.
7AI is migrating from self-managed open-source observability stacks to Grafana Cloud to free up engineering capacity.

The big picture

The adoption of Grafana Cloud by fast-scaling AI companies highlights the growing need for scalable, cost-effective observability solutions. As AI workloads increase operational complexity, organizations are prioritizing managed platforms that offer end-to-end visibility and adaptive telemetry. This shift reflects broader industry trends towards reducing fragmented, self-hosted stacks in favor of unified, managed observability solutions.
