The National Library of the Netherlands uses Grafana for their observability stack, ensuring seamless access to a vast collection of digital literature. The library's choice of Grafana over Splunk was driven by ease of use, cost reduction, and native Prometheus support. They deployed Grafana Mimir for metrics and Grafana Loki for logs, empowering developers with simplified infrastructure setup. Future plans include implementing Grafana Alerting, Grafana Tempo, and Grafana Faro to enhance performance monitoring.
