Grafana hosting questions

How much does it cost to self-host Grafana on Varity?
$14.32 a month at most for the app and its attached PostgreSQL database, billed by the running minute.
Does this Grafana include Prometheus or a metrics store?
No. It is Grafana itself. Connect an existing data source, or deploy VictoriaMetrics from this catalog as a PromQL-compatible store.
Where are my dashboards saved?
In the attached PostgreSQL database, so dashboards, users and alert rules persist across restarts.
