No need to guess when you can measure.

I am running https://cloud-canary.com a service where I monitor AWS primary services for latency and availability.

It comes with a lot of data.

For instance this is the latency I see doing operations against Dynamo.

What a cool lil side project/company! Going to circulate this among friends...

Little bit of well meaning advice: This needs copy editing -- inconsistent use of periods, typos, grammar. Little crap that doesn't matter in the big picture, but will block some from opening their wallets. :) ("OpenTeletry", "performances", etc.)

All in all this is quite cool, and I hope you get some customers and gather more data! (a 4k object size in S3 doesn't make sense to measure, but 1MB might be interesting. Also, check out HDRHistogram, it might be relevant to your interests)

Thanks!

Any feedback is appreciated!

I pick 4k as a no-op against S3, something that very little time but still does some work.

I will definitely consider to increase it!

Nice dash - if you don't mind a drive-by recommendation: I use Grafana for work a lot and it's nice to see a table legend with min, max, mean, and last metrics for these kinds of dashboards. Really makes it easy to grok without hovering over data points and guessing.

Thanks a lot!

I'll definitely update it!

What is more important for me when using Grafana (though a summary is as well) is actually units, to know if it's second, millisecond, microsecond, and also if 0.5 is a quantile or what.

Numbers without units are dangerous in my opinion.
