+# Grafana Alloy and Grafana Agent
+
+You can send data from your application using Grafana Alloy or Grafana Agent collectors.
+Both collectors support profiling with eBPF, Java, and Golang in pull mode.
+
+[Grafana Alloy](https://grafana.com/docs/alloy/latest/) is a vendor-neutral distribution of the OpenTelemetry (OTel) Collector.
+Alloy uniquely combines the very best OSS observability signals in the community.
+Grafana Alloy uses configuration file written using River.
+
+Alloy is the recommended collector instead of Grafana Agent.
+New installations should use Alloy.
