I saw you promoting this before and to be frank I looked at it and didn't understand what it would be good for. I thought, "Oh, ok so it's like a cron task that's easier to manage but you pay for" and then filed it away deep in my brain under "Maybe someday I'll need that"
Maybe I'm mistaken but I don't see how it is even remotely similar to what these monitoring services provide. Can you explain that better?
I laughed at the name, but how will someone justify that line item in their engineering budget at a larger company? Catchy though, I'll definitely remember it.
I saw this and I didn't understand what it is for or how it works.
If it runs on your server then how does it monitor my application? Is there an agent or something? Why is it better than running cron on (say) Google App Engine?
If it runs on my server, then exactly why would I want it? I think I can live with running every 5 minutes or 20 seconds instead of 7 minutes or 17 seconds.
So.. I just don't get it? Where can I read more (without registering)?
I wanted very basic things (namely application event monitoring for fraud), so I built my own analytics package around cron jobs.
