Check out Perses: https://github.com/perses/perses

Less mature than Grafana but recently accepted by the CNCF as a sandbox project, hopefully a positive leading indicator of success.

Perses is an excellent step towards vendor neutrality. We at Dash0 are basing our dashboarding data model entirely on Perses to allow you to bring/take away as much of your configuration as possible.

The team around Perses did a solid job coming up with the data model and making it look very Kubernetes manifest-like. This makes for good consistency, especially when configuring via Kubernetes CRs.

Didn't know about Perses. Looks promising! I've had one foot out the door with Grafana for a couple years -- always felt heavy and not-quite-there (especially the Loki log explorer), and IMHO they made alerts far less usable with the redesign in version 8.
