Grafana: market

Grafana is the standard for metrics visualization and observability: dashboards on top of Prometheus, Loki, Tempo and dozens of other sources, plus alerting. We track 3 298 open positions listing Grafana, 3 136 of them fresh. The skill belongs to the DevOps and SRE profile: production operations are impossible without monitoring, and Grafana is the most common way to present it. Most of the demand comes from DevOps, Backend and SRE roles. It most often appears next to Kubernetes, Docker and AWS. 41% of the postings allow fully remote work. Below is a live slice of Grafana demand.

Timeline: postings and sources

How many Grafana postings appeared each week since 10 Aug, and from how many sources. The second line separates market growth from coverage growth: a jump in the week new sources were connected means we started seeing more, not that the market grew.

New postings and active sources per week

Remote postings, %

The share is among postings that state a format (remote, hybrid, office). Weeks with fewer than 10 such postings are left blank.

Postings in the country, %

Share among postings with a known country; the chart shows the five countries with the most postings over six months. Weeks with fewer than 20 postings with a known country are left blank. A rising share can mean a newly connected source in that country rather than market growth.
