Griffin Cloud is the managed version of Griffin. It runs the hub, database, executors, and web dashboard so you can focus on writing monitors.

​
Getting started

# Install the CLI
npm install -g @griffin-app/griffin

# Authenticate with Griffin Cloud
griffin auth login

# Initialize your project
griffin init

# Deploy monitors
griffin apply
The griffin auth login command opens a browser-based authentication flow. Once authenticated, the CLI stores your credentials locally and all subsequent commands communicate with Griffin Cloud.

​
What’s included

  • Hosted hub — Monitors, scheduling, and results storage are fully managed
  • Multi-region executors — Run tests from multiple global locations
  • Web dashboard — View monitors, runs, metrics, and alerts in a browser
  • Organizations — Collaborate with your team (see Organizations)
  • Built-in integrations — Slack, email, and webhook notifications
  • Automatic updates — New features ship without any action on your part

​
CLI workflow

The CLI workflow is identical to self-hosted. The only difference is how you authenticate: 
# Griffin Cloud
griffin auth login

# Self-hosted
griffin auth connect --url https://hub.example.com --token YOUR_KEY
All other commands (plan, apply, runs, metrics, etc.) work the same way.
