Re:Show HN: Pup, real-time app metrics with Statsd on Monday August 06, 2012 @05:55PM (#4347494)
A no-hassle, real-time display of custom metrics for developers: 1 command to run and you can watch your app in action, as long as you instrument it with a statsd client (pretty much standard these days).

So, no logs to parse to get any app metric, everything already graphed for you in real-time, quasi-nil setup.

We chose statsd because it means that you don't have to change your code to get it to production. You can then rely on pup for display (but no historical data), or on your internal tool chain (e.g. graphite et al.) or give our service (http://www.datadoghq.com) a try if you don't want to set your own stuff up.

Thanks! We really had the get-started-quickly scenario in mind.

You should hit Techcrunch and the likes when you're about to go fund-raising because the audience definitely feels like other startups and VCs. If these are are not your audience you're just wasting your time.
So does getexceptional.com (from the RoR world). I ended up writing an adapter for pylons (pylons-exceptional) because an API for this kind of stuff means one less thing to deploy and worry about.

Excellent analysis, must have been quite an exciting project to hack skype into bits to understand the countermeasures.
