> nor does anyone that isn't a large cloud provider need a custom solution like monarch I'm not actually sure that's true. It's like many other things inside Google - people outside don't necessarily understand the value or know what's actually possible, because they've never experienced anything similar. It's sort of like trying to discuss the finer points of the taste of oysters with someone who has never tasted them. I would very much like the feature set of Monarch (and streamz), without the maintenance overhead or even insane scale. Very, very few companies out there need to run anything at anywhere near "billion-user" scale, but literally all of them could benefit from painless and detailed monitoring that Monarch offers.
