SQL Expressions Demo: Smarter Data Transformations in Grafana | Private Preview | Grafana 12

SQL Expressions in Grafana 12 (private preview) let you transform, join, and aggregate data from multiple sources—like Loki and BigQuery—without needing ETL pipelines or a data warehouse. You can replace complex UI transformations with a single SQL query, and even power alerts from transformed data.
