SignalFx

SignalFx is a SaaS-based monitoring and analytics platform based in San Mateo, California which allows customers to analyze, visualize, automate, and alert on metrics data from infrastructure, applications, microservices, containers, and functions.[1][2] At the core of the platform is a streaming architecture that splits metric data points into two streams, one for human readable metadata and the other for time-series values. The data is routed through a pub-sub bus to SignalFlow, a python-like analytics language accessible through the main SignalFx GUI and through programmable API's. The platform is able to process millions of data points per second at 1-second resolution with less than 2 seconds of latency, from ingestion to alert.[3][4]
