Small Grant Proposal: renterd alerts bot

Hi,

Thank you very much for reviewing my proposal and for your feedback.

I agree to the terms you’ve outlined.

In light of this, I will shift my focus towards building a modular alert system. To achieve this, I intend to conduct thorough research to identify the most suitable solution. I’m considering leveraging existing solutions such as a combination of Apache Airflow, Grafana, and Prometheus. Additionally, I’m open to the idea of developing a completely custom solution, though this will depend on the feasibility and effectiveness compared to existing tools.

The final goal is to create a versatile “alerting studio” that can integrate multiple services, with an initial focus on Discord and the existing Telegram solution.

Regarding the budget and milestones, I propose the following revised structure:

Amount Requested: $10,000 for the development and completion of a modular MVP for the renterd alerts bot within a 3-month period. This budget will enable me to dedicate full-time efforts to this project without the need for freelancing.

The breakdown is as follows:

  • Research and Proof of Concepts (PoCs) for a suitable solution using existing Open-Source tools: $2,000
    • Exploring solutions like Grafana, Prometheus, and Airflow to find an optimal approach for the alert system.
  • Development of the MVP: $6,000
    • Creation of a fully functional MVP, with the potential for future enhancements and service integrations under subsequent grants.
  • Operational Expenses: $2,000
    • Documentation: $800
    • Testing and examples: $800
    • Infrastructure costs: $400

Total: $10,000

Milestones:

  • Milestone 1: $3,000 - January 31 to February 29
    • Research and evaluation of the best solution for the system. I plan to seek feedback from the committee and the community, possibly presenting findings in the forum or here.
  • Milestone 2: $6,000 - February 29 to March 29
    • Development of the solution, including documentation, examples, and testing.

I look forward to your thoughts on this revised proposal.
