What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-23

Adopt with guardrails

Why
GA since v1.0 in April 2024, genuinely 100% OTLP-compatible, and now the mandatory forward path since Grafana Agent's EOL — but ~1,000 open issues and at least one live unresolved performance defect mean it should be rolled out staged rather than adopted on default config across critical pipelines.
Next
Pilot Alloy on one non-critical telemetry pipeline (e.g. a single service's traces+metrics via OTLP) to validate throughput and check exposure to the known loki.write idle-CPU bug, before cutting over any remaining Grafana Agent workloads (which are already past their Nov 2025 EOL and have no vendor-supported alternative).
