Zenko VS grafana-prtg

> Iteration speed and blazing fast automated tests.

Wholeheartedly agreed!

It is also nice to have that additional assurance of being able to self-host things (if ever necessary) and not being locked into a singular implementation. For example, that's why managed database offerings generally aren't that risky to use, given that they're built on already established projects (e.g. compatible with MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL).

MinIO is pretty good, but licensing wise could become problematic if you don't work on something open source but ever want to run it in prod. Not really what this discussion is about, but AGPL is worth mentioning: https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/LICENSE

That said, thankfully S3 is so common that we have alternatives even to MinIO available, like Zenko https://www.zenko.io/ and Garage https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ both of which are good for both local development as well as hosting in whatever environments necessary.

Have you seen https://www.zenko.io already? Would that be something that could work for you? It‘s more or less an additional layer with s3 support for existing infrastructure.

Well, technically with a bit of work you can use anything self-hosted that is S3 compatible.

Personally, I rather like:

With the release of Grafana 10, the Plugin will no longer be usable, because its written in AngularJS which will be no longer supportet (Source). It needs to be re-written in React. See Github for the issue #201.

I'm sorry, I just can't tell ... I'm using this plugin to connect to our PRTG data source: https://github.com/neuralfraud/grafana-prtg/tree/master/jasonlashua-prtg-datasource
