Grafana
The de facto standard dashboarding and visualization layer for metrics, logs, and traces across pluggable data sources. Standout trait is an enormous plugin/data-source ecosystem on top of a genuinely solid Go backend.

⚙ Full Stack
Go backend serving a React/TypeScript SPA, SQLite by default for internal config (dashboards/users), with Postgres/MySQL supported for HA multi-instance setups; queries fan out to external data source APIs.
📈 Scaling Analysis
With the internal DB moved to Postgres/MySQL, Grafana instances are stateless and scale horizontally behind a load balancer; the one sharp edge is GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL, which must be set correctly server-side or dashboard links and OAuth redirects break — a config issue, not a client-hardcoding one.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Single grafana pod (or multiple behind a postgres pod at postgres.pod:5432 for HA internal DB); set GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL to the public domain explicitly since Grafana requires this server-side config to match the exposed URL. Official image is Docker Hub library — mirror via mirror.gcr.io/library/grafana.
