This is the livestream recording of the GrafanaCON 2025 keynote, where we unveiled what's new in Grafana 12, including new features like Dynamic Dashboards (experimental), SQL expressions (private preview), Grafana managed alerts (GA), Observability as Code, and more. We also unveiled AI-powered observability — Grafana Assistant (private preview).
We ran into a hiccup during the Git Sync demo. Catch our dedicated Git Sync demo video here to see it in action:
