To integrate GitHub and Amazon DynamoDB with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating GitHub and Amazon DynamoDB and how that can support your monitoring system.
GitHub is a service for hosting code and doing version control for code. The foundations of GitHub is "Git" - which is an open source version control system.
Git allows multiple coders to contribute to one project, while remembering which is the most up-to-date version. Git also remembers who contributed and what they contributed to the project. All modifications and revisions are stored in a central repository, and contributions are made through a pull request.
Pull requests can be made by anybody, but they must be approved by the repository admin. In some projects, pull requests can be contributed without approval. However, most projects have some quality assurance processes.
When doing application performance monitoring for a project built in GitHub, you’ll want to export data about your GitHub setup into your regular monitoring dashboards. You want to monitor when changes happen, and the effect they have on your system.
For example, if you make a change to your code, and suddenly the latency of requests to your server increases - you’ll want to know exactly which pull request caused that change. If you didn’t know that there were any changes in your code, then you wouldn’t be able to correlate the change in your code with the changes in how your system is behaving. This will slow down your debugging process.
With MetricFire, you can get all of your monitoring dashboards automatically annotated with the changes you’ve made to your code in GitHub. If there are any changes in behavior, a small note will be present in the graph to tell you what’s happening in your environment.
This enables you to automatically monitor the correlation between GitHub changes and how your system is functioning.
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.

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:
Simple, low-cost pricing
A structured pricing model based on unique time series metrics allows you to work within your budget. The predictability and transparent pricing allow you to keep your costs in check and plan for the future. 1 metric is 1 metric.
Easy-to-use dashboards
Easily share your dashboards with clients for free.
Responsive alerting
Alert notification integrations PagerDuty, Slack, email, and webhooks.
Freedom of customization
Custom metrics through your code.
Fantastic customer support
Highly available support is provided by engineers for engineers to get you set up quickly.
Enterprise-ready
Dedicated clusters for users that need their own environment.
“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.”
