RDM Club Meeting 2026-03-31 Summary
🌟 Summary of the RDM club meeting on March 31, 2026
In this meeting, we discussed ideas for improving workflow and project management capabilities in eLabFTW.
Participants reported that they currently used project management functions in OpenProject, GitLab, and Redmine, along with Gantt charts, Kanban boards, saved searches, and template recommendations. There was interest in better representing research workflows and relationships by integrating parent-child and many-to-many relationships between experiment and resource entities.
On-Premise vs SaaS
Introduction
When choosing how to deploy eLabFTW, organizations usually compare two options: SaaS and On-Premise.
At first glance, the difference seems simple. With SaaS, the service is hosted and maintained by the provider. With On-Premise, the organization installs and operates the software on its own infrastructure.
Both models are valid. On-Premise can be the right choice for organizations with strict internal policies, dedicated infrastructure teams, or specific regulatory constraints. But in practice, the real difference is not only where the software runs. The real difference is who is responsible for keeping it secure, updated, backed up, and operational over time.
