Perses is a CNCF sandbox observability dashboard application for visualizing Prometheus metrics, Tempo traces, Loki logs, and Pyroscope profiles. It also provides an open dashboard specification, embeddable React components, SDKs, and a CLI for Dashboard-as-Code and GitOps workflows.

Use cases

  • visualize prometheus metrics in dashboards
  • view tempo traces and loki logs in one place
  • manage dashboards as code in ci/cd pipelines
  • embed observability panels into my own react app
  • manage dashboards as kubernetes CRDs
  • open-source grafana alternative for observability

When to choose

  • you want a GitOps-friendly, dashboard-as-code observability tool
  • you need Kubernetes-native dashboards managed via CRDs and an operator
  • you want to embed dashboards or panels into your own UI
  • you prefer an open dashboard specification and plugin extensibility

When to avoid

  • you need data sources beyond Prometheus, Tempo, Loki, and Pyroscope
  • you rely on Grafana's mature plugin ecosystem and long-standing features
  • you only need simple ad-hoc charts without dashboard tooling
