But seeing a problem that's already in production only lets teams *react* to existing issues. What if we could *prevent* those issues instead? With k6 as part of the Grafana stack, teams can shift left and move these problems earlier so they can proactively troubleshoot and fix issues *before* they impact end user experience. Right now, though, that still requires teams to create two different accounts: one in Grafana Cloud, and one in k6 Cloud. But not for much longer... In March, we're publicly releasing a unified experience that brings prevention and treatment together: Grafana Cloud k6. Users will be able to log into Grafana Cloud, start k6 tests, and monitor application infrastructure from the same place. And just like Grafana logs and metrics, there'll be a free forever plan with 500 VUh/month. Load testing is going to be just another thing the Grafana platform can do. Sales enablement is planned for early March. Grafana customers on spend commit plans will gradually get access as the release is rolled out. We are adding the world's best load testing product to the Grafana Cloud stack. ### Revised script for external release The Grafana platform allows you to gain insights into your applications by making everything observable.
