It was wildly successful and has made Grafana much more useful as you can integrate it with anything and do any type of custom visualization that you want. However, these plugin hooks are on the frontend only and we also want to provide hooks into the Grafana backend to allow the community to extend and improve Grafana in new ways. -Once Grafana introduced the alerting feature, external data source plugins needed a backend component for the Grafana server to execute queries for evaluating alert rules (as the alerting engine cannot call frontend JavaScript code). So the the obvious first backend plugin type is the **Datasource backend plugin** and it is a new component for an existing data source plugin. This new plugin type will enable alerting for external data source plugins but can also be used for achieving different goals such as query caching, request proxying, custom authentication methods, and more. +Once Grafana introduced the alerting feature, external data source plugins needed a backend component for the Grafana server to execute queries for evaluating alert rules (as the alerting engine cannot call frontend JavaScript code).
