Ask HN: What happened to grafana quality? Good alternatives?
Over the last 4 years or so, Grafana has degraded to the point where it is unusable. It was seriously one of my favorite pieces of software. What was once a simple, sleek product that did one thing and did it well, has now turned into a bloated, rage inducing amalgamation of half broken features that is nearly impossible to use.
A UI that has 5 layers of nested scrollbars, overriding of the right click, a query language that is a mashup of many different half baked filter languages, alerting in which 80% of the alerts are 5xx errors or timeouts from grafana itself, rather than errors in my application, the list goes on and on. The final nail in the coffin was waking up and all of a sudden my metrics are gone when my app hasn't changed at all. I'm tired of debugging it.
Sorry for the rant but it is upsetting that dumping a pile of VC cash onto a product that was good has made it such a steaming dumpster fire.
Prefer OSS solutions with the ability to self host, but other alternatives are also welcome.

Tell HN: Amazon Pharmacy 37% Cheaper Than CVS's Insured Price
I just found out that Amazon Pharmacy's price WITHOUT insurance is 37% cheaper than what I pay at CVS WITH insurance! Pretty crazy pricing stuff going on here:
- CVS seems to be artificially jacking up their base prices just to make thier insurance "discounts" look better
- Even after my insurance knocked the price down, CVS is way more expensive than Amazon's regular price
- CVS wont even let you return meds. Their solution? "Just throw it in our medicine disposal bin"
This is probably affecting millions of Americans tbh. The whole thing - inflated prices, confusing insurance stuff, and zero returns - feels like its designed to squeeze money from us. Anyone else dealing with this at other big pharmacy chains? Would love to hear from someone in healthcare/pharmacy about how they justify this pricing. What other options have you guys found besides these traditional pharmacies?
