SEO comparison post targeting: grafana alternative, grafana vs oneuptime, open source observability comparison, prometheus grafana alternative.

Honest comparison of assembling the Grafana ecosystem (Grafana + Prometheus + Loki + Tempo + OnCall) vs using OneUptime as a unified platform. Covers strengths of both, real cost numbers, and when to choose each.

~1900 words. Addresses a major gap — we had zero Grafana comparison content despite it being arguably the biggest open-source competitor.

…page comparison (#151)

Reviewed, fact-checked, and merged from PRs #137 and #133 (their branches were
~45k commits behind master, so the content was rebased onto current master here).

Fixes applied during review:
- Grafana post: corrected stale Grafana OnCall OSS references (archived Mar 2026,
  now Grafana Cloud IRM / cloud-only); fixed Grafana Cloud IRM pricing ($20/user +
  $19 platform fee); tightened metrics estimate; verified OneUptime $22 flat Growth
  plan against oneuptime.com/pricing.
- Status page post: corrected the cited Atlassian Statuspage outage (Feb 2-23 2026
  System Metrics outage, not "April 2024"); fixed the broken cross-reference link;
  added the missing validation.json and validation-summary.md.

Thanks, @mallersjamie! This post was accepted — reviewed, fact-checked, and merged into master via #151 (squash commit 6d8ef24). You're credited as the author on the post and via Co-authored-by.

I'm closing this PR because its branch was ~45k commits behind master, so a direct merge would have reverted unrelated posts (via stale em-dash auto-fixes). The content was rebased onto current master in #151.

Fixes I made during review (Grafana OnCall OSS was archived in March 2026, so it can no longer be presented as a current self-hostable component):

  • Updated all Grafana OnCall references to Grafana Cloud IRM / Alertmanager and added a 2026 caveat.
  • Corrected the Grafana Cloud on-call pricing (~$20/user + $19/mo platform fee) and recalculated the total; tightened the metrics estimate.
  • Verified OneUptime's $22 flat Growth plan against oneuptime.com/pricing (correct, left as-is).

Nice, balanced comparison — this was the most original of the batch. 🎉
