If you are struggling with observability solutions which require object storage for production setups after such news (i.e. Thanos, Loki, Mimir, Tempo), then try alternatives without this requirement, such as VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs and VictoriaTraces. They scale to petabytes of data on regular block storage, and they provide higher performance and availability than systems, which depend on manually managed object storage such as MinIO.
