Amazon Redshift is a Data Warehouse product provided by AWS. Every interaction you have with your clients generates countless data points. With the right tools, you can harness the power of that data to optimize the customer experience.
Amazon Redshift makes setting up your data center simple. No need to invest resources in costly hardware that requires storage space. Your Amazon Redshift data center exists in the cloud - and every step is managed for you from start to finish.
You can rely on Amazon Redshift for the setup, operation, and scaling of your data warehouse. That includes specialized tasks such as provisioning capacity, monitoring, backup, software patches, and upgrading. Whether you have a few hundred gigabytes of data or more than a petabyte, Amazon Redshift is a seamless, secure solution for your data center needs.
Why Do Performance Monitoring with Amazon Redshift?
Plenty of cloud-based data services can meet basic needs, but Amazon Redshift offers something more. Users remain loyal, because Amazon Redshift can be trusted to keep data secure. Better still, it is fast and easy to use.
Amazon Redshift clients enjoy a variety of exclusive features related to cluster access and security. Application developers trust the platform because encrypted data and connections are guaranteed.
Simply create a data warehouse by launching a set of nodes, which are referred to as an Amazon Redshift cluster. Provision your cluster, then upload your data set and perform necessary data analysis queries and monitoring.
The size of the data set does not matter: Amazon Redshift is best known for its fast query performance. App developers who are familiar with SQL-based tools and business intelligence applications find it simple and efficient.
You can track the performance and overall health of your databases using the Amazon CloudWatch metrics. These are particularly helpful in monitoring CPU utilization, latency, and throughput.
MetricFire integrates seamlessly with Amazon Redshift, so you can monitor performance accurately. Sign up for the MetricFire free trial to set up your Amazon Redshift, or book a demo to learn more about the features from the MetricFire team.
New Relic is a monitoring tool that can deliver useful insights about both past and real-time reliability and performance of applications. When you use this service to make sure your web or mobile app is working properly, you’ll get access to the information you need to improve app performance. Not only is New Relic compatible with all programming languages and easy to use to improve your app from anywhere, but it’s also simple to install. In fact, it takes only minutes to get it up and running so you can start getting insights today.
Some examples of the information you’ll get from New Relic include page load times, errors, browser usage, flow of web transactions, and more. When you view your dashboard, you’ll be able to see your app’s performance from the point of view of users, making it easy to detect and fix any issues right away. So if you want transparency into how your app is performing — either in real-time or historically — New Relic can help.
When you implement performance monitoring with New Relic, you can import all your data to a single dashboard of observability with one UI to make it easier to keep track of. Once you start monitoring performance with this tool, it can alert you to potential issues before they develop into major problems that users will notice. These features make monitoring and troubleshooting your app seamless for your team.
Best of all, New Relic integrates with popular tools like MetricFire. When you use these two tools together, you get constant monitoring of your app as MetricFire pulls your metrics for easy viewing on a custom dashboard, complete with alerts. This way, you get as much functionality as you need to ensure your app runs smoothly.

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that offers infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. The platform allows you to use either Prometheus- or Graphite-as-a-Service and have your metrics displayed on aesthetically-pleasing Grafana dashboards.
MetricFire offers its users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, which is made up of three of the most popular open-source monitoring software services: Prometheus, Graphite, and Grafana. As well, plugins for a number of 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, we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire works to boost the unique features of the open source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
Cloud and on Premise Monitoring
Hosted Prometheus
Hosted Graphite
Grafana Dashboards
Whether to use Prometheus or Graphite is a great question. We’ve looked deeper into this decision in our blog article, Prometheus or Graphite. While Prometheus is a newer software that has a multidimensional data structure, Graphite is robust and sufficient. 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:
No vendor lock-ins
MetricFire allows you to request for a full export at any time, because you will always own the data you input. You get all the benefits of an open-source tool with the stability and security of a SaaS tool.
Easy Budgeting
A structured pricing model allows you to save time and work within your budget. The predictability and transparent pricing allows you to keep your costs in check and plan for the future.
Transparency
MetricFire works transparently on all aspects of their operations of SaaS system monitoring. You can see their own internal system metrics at their public status page.
Robust Support
Technical support is provided by engineers for engineers, so you can expect detailed and relevant answers to your queries.
“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.”
