To integrate Amazon DynamoDB and webhooks with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Amazon DynamoDB and webhooks and how that can support your monitoring system.
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service. The service provides predictable performance and can scale seamlessly. Administrative tasks, such as operating and scaling a distributed database are handled automatically. You never have to worry about cluster scaling, software patching, replication, or set up and configuration.
DynamoDB encrypts data while not in use, keeping your data safe and secure at all times. The database tables you create can be stored and easily retrieved even during high peak traffic. Tables can be scaled up or down without loss of performance or downtime. Performance metrics and resource utilization can be monitored through your AWS Management Console.
The on-demand back-up makes it possible for you to create complete back-ups of all tables that you can keep in storage or archive for future needs. The back-ups can be enabled with a specific point-in-time recovery, which helps to protect your tables from being accidentally over-written or deleted.
Expired items can be set to delete automatically at a certain time, freeing up storage space.
As a non-relational service, Amazon DynamoDB is reliable and capable of helping small businesses as well as large companies. The back-up and restores, built-in security, and in-memory caching make it the best choice for any size business.
The AWS DynamoDB is chosen for Internet of Things, mobile, gaming, web, ad tech, and other applications requiring low-latency access to data. You create a new table and DynamoDB handles the rest of the work.
Integrate Amazon DynamoDB with MetricFire for complete control over all of your data. The DynamoDB is a perfect database for applications requiring consistent millisecond latency at any scale. MetricFire allows you to see this in real time.
With MetricFire, you can integrate with tools you know and trust. Stay on top of exactly what's going on at all times by monitoring the performance of your software and servers. Data is sent over high-resolution dashboards that show you exactly, in detail, what is happening with the technology stored inside. Plus, you are instantly alerted to any discrepancies or irregular behavior.
Webhooks are user-defined HTTP callbacks triggered by an event, such as pushing code to a repository or posting a comment to a blog. They allow you to send data from one application to another whenever a specific event occurs. When an event is triggered, the source site makes an HTTP request to the URL configured for the webhook.
Webhooks are one of only a few methods available to allow web applications to exchange information with each other. At first, webhooks might seem like an API, but they are slightly different. Webhooks don't need to give a request to get a response, while APIs need to send a request to get a response. Webhooks let you receive, while APIs require you to retrieve. Think of it like API calls and polling need to knock on the door (requesting) to give that information to someone. Webhooks just simply throw that information at the door as there is no need to request permission.
There are many reasons to use webhooks. You could use a webhook to connect a payment gateway with your email marketing software to notify a customer by email if a payment bounces. You might use a webhook to send event data to external databases or data warehouses like Amazon's Redshift for further analysis. Or you could use webhooks to sync customer data between applications, such as when a user changes their email address. By using a webhook, you can ensure that the change is reflected in your CRM as well.
With MetricFire, you can use WebHooks in two different ways. First, they are useful for integrating metric data from various platforms and services, including CircleCi, Pingdom, Sentry, and more. Second, you can create WebHooks from within MetricFire to send notifications to applications and services that accept WebHooks.

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. We enable you to use Hosted Graphite and aesthetic custom dashboards to visualize your metrics so you can understand what is happening.
MetricFire offers users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of popular open-source monitoring software services: Graphite and popular dashboards. Plugins for many other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, but we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire boosts the unique features of open-source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
Cloud Monitoring
Hosted Graphite
Dashboards
The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.
The benefits of MetricFire are:

“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
