My friend uses self-hosted open-source software to monitor all his home IoT devices[1] and copies important information to the cloud. I'm using StarFive VisionFive 2 to host my database for monitoring, but also have a copy of the data of a chip hetzner arm vps, as well as hosting backups on the two different clouds. I know users who are running[2] for years to monitor Solar panels, lawn watering and vegetable garden watering.

My question is: is it really convenient to use only SaaS now if there is always the possibility of losing your data? I am referring to the case described in the article.

in recent podcast episode with the found of your company ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xkCykuJwKs , От стартапа до международного бизнеса: история VictoriaMetrics и её уроки | Александр Валялкин | #36) he explicitly described the path VictoriaMetrics has come and one of the early steps was trying to sell SaaS, while quite a lot of users/customers want to have on premise/own setup for such tooling.

So, answering your question: > My question is: is it really convenient to use only SaaS now

no, it's not
