the part the scaling docs bury, and it's the whole thing:
loki, tempo, mimir each run as a single binary — monolithic mode, every component in one process. not a hack, the supported default. grafana's own docs say monolithic handles ~20GB logs/day.
then point all three at one S3 bucket. compute stays small, data lives in object storage at a couple cents/GB-month. do it day one — retrofitting storage later is the migration you don't want.
