Great systems are not just built. They are monitored.

MetricFire runs Graphite and Grafana as a fully managed service for growing engineering teams, taking care of storage, scaling, and version updates so your team doesn't have to. Plans start at $19/month, billed per metric namespace rather than per host, and include engineer-staffed support. Integrations work natively with Heroku, AWS, Azure, and GCP, and data is stored with 3× redundancy in SOC2- and ISO:27001-certified data centres.
