Grafana Plugin Development for Beginners
summary
Single-command scaffolding with create-plugin generates a data source plus Go backend, CI GitHub workflows and a Docker compose dev environment with hot reload; demo builds a backend that fakes data, implements config and query editors, exposes a custom endpoint for available datasets, converts responses into data frames, and returns a successful check_health. The team also releases plugin-e2e 1.0 (Playwright-based) for cross-version end-to-end tests and shows how to package and submit a signed zip to the catalog.
