Story
Inside Diageo, incident management used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer staples groups working out of the United Kingdom. On-call rotations needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Diageo uses Loki from Grafana Labs as the working layer for on-call response. Grafana Labs builds open observability software for dashboards, logs, traces, and metrics, with Grafana Cloud as the hosted option. The practical change is simple: incident management has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Diageo gets from Grafana Labs is a durable place to run incident management and a way for on-call rotations to see the same on-call response at the same time.
