Instrumental is working to help engineers understand the health of their applications. After years working on some of the highest scale web applications, they were constantly frustrated with existing tools. Instrumental is what they think monitoring should be: flexible, powerful, easy-to-use, and built to handle any load. Ultimately, they strive to reduce the time between needing-knowledge and having-knowledge to zero. They’re not quite there yet, it still takes a little setup and a few seconds delay here or there but they’re close. If you have a question about your application’s performance, the answer is as close as one graph or one line of instrumentation code.
