Open-source Real User Monitoring (hubspot.com)
100 points by sfeng on Feb 27, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 15 comments



The Github repot, last commit, was bumping to version 0.3.0 over 4 months ago, but the 'learn more' pages all point to downloading version 0.2.0, from over 5 months ago. The few commits in that period seem fairly innocuous, is this a mistake or is there a good reason not to use the latest version?


Link fixed, thanks!


Np, great stuff.


How does this compare to the real user monitoring in NewRelic? I know NR is commercial and not cheap, but in features? Thanks!


It's a subset of what NR provides. Bucky gives you aggregate stats on the performance of your endpoints and pages as experienced by your users. NR gives you that, and a bunch of other stuff which we hope to build as OS tools of their own some day.


Is this somewhat similar to Soasta Mpulse RUM? The way you inject the code to start sending data points is similar. With them i have to specify what i want to track though, using tags. It won't allow me to track all ajax calls.


If you're interested, HubSpot is currently looking for engineers and interns: http://github.hubspot.com/#frontend-jobs


They actually offered me an interview chance after completing a set of challenges they posted on Talentbuddy. http://www.talentbuddy.co/set/5286b6e84af0110af3838c47


It's great how HubSpot continues to open source these things.


I could imagine only using the client part and sending the data to our python web server that is already enabled to send monitoring data to stats/graphite.


Cool, now make HubSpot faster! I swear by the software, but damn it's far and away the slowest app I use everyday.


Exactly why we built monitoring tools.


but why did they call it bucky? There is a python statsd / collectd -> graphite bridge https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bucky

You non-js users are adorable: http://i.imgur.com/VV4Yw2V.png
