Oh come on man, don't tell me it's free. Tell me what numbers I can go up to before you give me the "phone call" (if that, you could go Google and just shut stuff off without any notification or warning of any kind) telling me I've hit some sort of API limit. The ambiguity is like that Oracle Linux debacle. I don't even really care if you intend on living in fantasy-land and never intend on charging for the service (get real), at least give me some idea of what the limitations are. I like the live demo though, good idea. I want to use your service but you need to set up some clearly defined boundaries. I'm not some sort of enterprise-wonk trying to hold you to an uptime contract, I'm a startup guy trying to make certain he's not hinging stuff his company uses on something overly uncertain.

Free for now. For now, we're thinking of a $1-2 / stat / month price point with free first 5 stat/months. Still a lot of discovery to do before we get a clear pricing. Not a priority RIGHT NOW, will become one rapidly. We're free because we're in beta. Won't stay free. It's a promess. We may open source the whole thing though. Not contradictory at all. Glad you liked the demo! :)

  Thank you for the quick response! $1-2 / stat / month with no limit on traffic/storage? Also the visualization UI is freakin' sweet!

    traffic is not a big issue since we have pre-aggregation client-side. So you can aggregate 5 event / hour or 10 millions it's all the same for DaTtSs... and it does not kill your network stack As far as retention is concerned let say we aim for 1 month history. Might be more if people say they want it but we believe the value is in the analysis of what is happening now. Make sense?

      So far, just need a Python client now :)

  The greatness of graphite is the ease of graphing thousands of stats in no time and without headache. $1 per stats isn't prohibitive?

    Yep it might be. We still need to discover that! We might cap it to a certain price!
