I'm developing a software system that needs a robust log storage feature, similar to what Grafana Loki offers. However, due to our organization's policies, I can't use Loki or any external logging systems, whether they're open source or commercial. I'm looking for advice or insights on how to build a custom log storage solution that meets these requirements. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

It's tough to have such a strict policy. Are you really restricted from using any self-hosted logging tools, or just external ones? Building a custom solution can be incredibly time-consuming and may not be worth it in the long run.
If your org really won’t budge on the policy, maybe it’s time to push for a change in that. Honestly, trying to replicate Loki’s features from scratch sounds like a headache—consider the implications of that policy.
My supervisor does shoot down every external tool I suggest. They want me to implement everything on my own.
