Ask HN: Cloud service for APIs monitoring

1 points by sochix 8y ago

Hi, hackers! I’m Indie hacker and earn money by developing web apis for enterprises. My stack is node.js/express/elasticsearch/mongodb. I need to constantly monitor how performs my APIs (avg. response time, response codes, etc) to complete the SLA. Does anyone knows good cloud services to do it? (NewRelic is too pricy)

We're pretty happy with https://www.hostedgraphite.com/ https://www.hostedgraphite.com/ (most metrics send from AWS Cloudfront). Small startup from Ireland. You can also install software like https://graphiteapp.org/ https://graphiteapp.org/, https://prometheus.io/ https://prometheus.io/ or https://www.zabbix.com/ https://www.zabbix.com/ on your own hardware.

  Thanks for your reply! Can you please share what plan did you use? Is it 29$/mo? Is it enough for you? > You can also install software like https://graphiteapp.org/ https://graphiteapp.org/, https://prometheus.io/ https://prometheus.io/ or https://www.zabbix.com/ https://www.zabbix.com/ on your own hardware. Did you try it? What kind of hardware it requires?

    Works for me. Could you please email me (it's in my profile), as I'd like to debug the problem.

      Seems like the problem was with my DNS cache, it starts working after I clean it up. Sorry.

I've to do the same, and I couldn't find what I need, so I've made a kind of probe using aws lambda and influxdb. It allow configuration by YAML, dynamics headers and query params, and track your deployments (infra and release). It's called PepperReport.io, I could give you an invitation code if you wan't to try it.
