Grafana Labs today announced that Dabble, an Australian-founded social sports betting platform with growing global footprint, has selected Grafana Cloud as its observability platform. Dabble is using Grafana Cloud to give its SRE, Cloud, and Engineering teams single view across metrics, logs, and traces as it scales operations across Australia, US, and UK.

Dabble transitions from self-hosted Grafana to fully managed Grafana Cloud, adding Adaptive Telemetry to control observability costs as it scales across Australia, US, and UK.

  • Dabble bets on Grafana Cloud and Grafana Assistant to cut incident response times transitioning from self-hosted Grafana to fully managed cloud as observability platform.
  • Australian-founded social sports betting platform with growing global footprint using cloud to give SRE Cloud Engineering teams single view across metrics logs traces scaling across Australia US UK.
  • Came as existing Grafana open source user actively building SRE function self-managed stack limitations visibility gaps between tools harder to correlate signals operational overhead pulling engineering time from product.
  • 38% of organizations cite complexity overhead as top observability concern ahead of cost signal-to-noise 30% say alert fatigue single biggest obstacle to faster incident response.
  • By moving to managed infrastructure teams can correlate signals in single interface replacing fragmented visibility that created gaps during incidents deprecating self-hosted stack without overhead freeing team to focus building SRE function.
  • Faster investigation with Grafana Assistant AI-powered layer inside observability workflow natural language questions correlated answers grounded in telemetry surfacing root cause faster without context-switching reducing investigation time critical in live sports betting.

Intelligent Data Management with Adaptive Telemetry Controlling Costs

Faster investigation with Grafana Assistant — Grafana Assistant gives Dabble's on-call engineers AI-powered layer directly inside observability workflow. Rather than manually querying across dashboards during incident, engineers can ask natural language questions, get correlated answers grounded in actual telemetry, and surface root cause faster without context-switching to separate tools or documentation. In live sports betting environment where incidents during peak events carry real business cost, reduction in investigation time matters directly to product.

Intelligent data management with Adaptive Telemetry — As Dabble's infrastructure grows across three markets, so does volume of telemetry it generates. Adaptive Telemetry lets team control what data is retained and at what resolution, automatically reducing cost of storing signals that aren't actionable, without sacrificing coverage on data that is. This gives Dabble path to scale observability footprint alongside market expansion without telemetry costs scaling linearly with infrastructure.

Reduce MTTR through correlated signals — Dabble is using Grafana Cloud's unified alerting and correlated signal views to improve alert fidelity and cut mean time to resolution. Rather than pivoting between tools to reconstruct what happened, on-call engineers can trace incident from alert to root cause within single pane of glass.

Cross-team visibility at scale — Grafana Cloud gives Dabble's SRE, Cloud, and Engineering teams shared context across infrastructure, reducing coordination overhead that comes with siloed observability. As Dabble expands into US and UK markets over next 12–18 months, that shared foundation becomes critical.

"Our platform is our product, and as we expand into new markets, reliability of that platform isn't back-office concern; it's commercial one," said Andrei Goutnik, General Manager Technology at Dabble. "We were already building on Grafana open source, but running own stack meant SRE team was spending time on infrastructure that wasn't theirs to own. Moving to Grafana Cloud gave us managed foundation we needed, and Grafana Assistant has changed how engineers actually work through incident."

"What stands out about Dabble is they're treating observability as strategic foundation for growth," said James Hayward, Regional Sales Director, ANZ at Grafana Labs. "As they expand across Australia, US, and UK, platform reliability directly shapes customer experience. Dabble also understands opportunity AI brings to observability."
