Both of the headline sentences on the home pages tell me they’re self-hosted.
They both also have cloud options, one focussing more on large scale and features I don’t care about, the other others some sort of hosted instance that’s private.
Tailscsle was never the unlock for me, but I guess I never was the typical use case here.
I have a 1U (or more), sitting in a rack in a local datacenter. I have an IP block to myself.
Those servers are now publicly exposed and only a few ports are exposed for mail, HTTP traffic and SSH (for Git).
I guess my use case also changes in that I don’t use things just for me to consume, select others can consume services I host.
My definition here of self-hosting isn’t that I and I only can access my services; that’s be me having a server at home which has some non critical things on it.
When I was a manager at Amazon, I asked my engineers to keep a list of what they were proud of throughout the year, as it’d be used in annual and mid year reviews..
Seeing it get rolled into a single IRM is a good thing. That IRM is cloud-only is not.
I do feel that Grafana are slowly becoming more cloud-first, regardless of that a lot of work is done in OSS. Even if I look at the blog, most content there is about Grafana Cloud. The "Grafana LGTM Stack news" section isn't navigable.
With Opsgenie shutting down, and I see that DataDog releasing their on-call feature; maybe migrating away from the LGTM solution might be a whole thing if there's nothing to replace OnCall; not that it would be easy, mind you.

I am an engineering manager with experience in building and operating cloud services. My prior work was as an SRE, thus have a solid understanding of end-to-end engineering principles.
They both also have cloud options, one focussing more on large scale and features I don’t care about, the other others some sort of hosted instance that’s private.
Sorry, doesn’t help me
