StatsD/Graphite as a Service
We are a windows shop that was looking for a lightweight way to track performance metrics across our application. PerfMon counters were too heavyweight for many reasons including deployment.
Several of our folks had used StatsD with node and thought it would be a good lightweight solution. We however didn't want to introduce node/graphite in our existing environment. In the ideal world someone would be hosting the equivalent with a better Ux than graphite provides.
Enter DataDog. We discovered this tool and it's ability to accept udp statsd style packets and haven't looked back. Adding metrics are as easy as instrumenting the piece of code we want to measure, deploying and minutes later we start seeing the metrics stream into DataDog.
DataDog has become a a core part of our monitoring strategy.
