Which is what Grafana essentially did, and it's going great (as a company and as a suite of products, their stuff is incredibly good).

but also kind of sucks for users since you can't reuse the graph widgets elsewhere... which is why https://perses.dev/ is now a thing

looks like a poorer version grafana, with a worse license?

Also grafana has "observability as code" since release 12: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/whatsnew/whats-new-i...

And it seems there used to be something similar from earlier as well: https://grafana.com/blog/2022/12/06/a-complete-guide-to-mana...

Funny Grafana added "as code" after Perses did it, look like small players can impact big players and they can be useful to the ecosystem :) I do not understand why you say it's a worse licence?

The second link is from like 2022, and I remember having code checked into git for dashboard in 2021 or so.

> I do not understand why you say it's a worse licence?

Apache license is inferior to the AGPL that Grafana is using. If the project is any good it's just a matter of time before Amazon or some other big company starts selling a fork of the codebase and draining development resources, as it happened with Redis, ElasticSearch and other companies.

Can you please explain how this model works?
