Graylog cloud refers to a managed deployment of Graylog provided by a cloud provider, rather than an on-premises installation. Self-hosting Graylog requires running three services together — Graylog, OpenSearch, and MongoDB — and keeping them updated, backed up, and secure, which is a significant operational burden.
With Stackhero, you can have a dedicated Graylog instance up and running in just 2 minutes. OpenSearch and MongoDB are included and pre-configured. Your instance runs on a dedicated VM — not shared infrastructure — ensuring your log data remains isolated. Connections are encrypted with TLS 1.3, backups are automatic every 24 hours and retained for up to 3 months, and updates are available with a single click. Servers are available in the United States and Europe, with hourly billing so you only pay for what you use.
