After having worked with a nice metrics stack in my worklife. I feel kind of blind in my side projects. What are all y'all using for metrics and visualization for your side projects? I'd prefer a SaaS solution, and I'd love to be able to (easily): - Publish (time-series) metrics from my code - Create dashboards visualizing these metrics - (Optional) setup alerting on these metrics

The stacks I've been able to find are either very tied to Prometheus, or tracing. I would like to emit more metrics semantically more close to the application. Examples: - Backlog size - Concurrent items being processed - Number of items in a specific state

So what are you running in your projects, where it would be overkill to run your own prometheus/grafana/influx/whatevs stack?

I'm going to participate in a debate on monolithic vs many smaller repositories.

One of my points is that many companies does not have a scale where investing heavily in custom tooling has a feasible ROI.

I know that Facebook builds and ships the very newest Mercurial with extensions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOVD-DrUpwQ&t=169s

Uber uses ( or has used ) a custom build of Docker to do some scrubbing of build-time secrets.

What other companies do you know of that uses custom built versions of common tools like Git? And for what purpose?

I look forward to seeing some cool examples of custom tooling.
