Hire Grafana Experts | Nearshore Software Development
Grafana is the universal visualization tool for observability, bringing clarity to complex, multi-source data streams (metrics, logs, traces). You need a Senior Grafana expert who can move beyond basic charts to design high-impact, actionable dashboards that provide engineers, product managers, and executives with a single pane of glass into system and business health. Our vetting process is designed to find experts in complex data source integration, dashboard design best practices, and visualization techniques. We test their ability to use advanced features like Templating, Annotations, and their mastery of combining data from various sources (Prometheus, Loki, databases). By hiring a Grafana expert from us, you get a developer who can transform raw data into clear, reliable, and actionable insights for the entire organization.
The Problem
Poorly designed dashboards suffer from excessive noise, incorrect panel choices, and a lack of clear hierarchy. Under the stress of an outage, engineers cannot quickly find the critical data points they need, leading to panic, incorrect decisions, and long Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR).
The TeamStation AI Solution
We vet for mastery of visualization best practices. Our experts must demonstrate the ability to design high-impact dashboards using clear panels, strategic use of color (e.g., red for errors), and a logical layout (e.g., Golden Signals at the top), ensuring rapid information consumption during an incident.
The Problem
If you have to manually create a separate dashboard for production, staging, and every single service in your microservice architecture, you have a massive maintenance problem. Any update to a panel or query requires updating dozens of individual dashboards, which is error-prone and unsustainable.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our engineers are experts in Grafana Templating. They are vetted on their ability to use powerful query variables to create a single 'master' dashboard that can be dynamically filtered by environment, service, or host, dramatically reducing maintenance overhead and ensuring consistency.
The Problem
Observability requires the ability to switch context seamlessly between the three pillars. If an engineer sees a metric spike but can't click to view the corresponding application logs or traces, their diagnosis is slow, manual, and disconnected, increasing MTTR.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We look for engineers proficient in Grafana's unified observability features. They are vetted on their ability to configure links between data sources (e.g., from a Prometheus metric to the relevant Loki logs or a Tempo trace), enabling a rapid, seamless, and contextualized triage workflow.
