Apr 1, 2025April 2025 performance summary for grafana/grafana: Focused on simplifying and hardening the alerting surface by delivering a streamlined Alerting API and configuration along with stronger error handling. Key outcomes include removal of legacy toggles and endpoints (Loki Alert State History toggles and internal Grafana Alertmanager POST endpoint) to reduce complexity and risk, and improved validation error propagation to the API layer for faster diagnosis. The work reinforces consistent alerting behavior via the alertingApiServer feature and reduces maintenance burden for operators and developers.
