Business decisions depend on data and often that data is derived from the current database as a result of user interaction. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to visualize how often certain methods are called? How long a page takes to load? or how long an API call to a third party takes to complete? By using StatsD we can derive metrics from application flow and plot graphs to gain more insight.When visualizing this data, we can get a 'feel' on how our users use the application, and how it behaves. Dennis takes you through the concepts of StatsD, why it's a powerful tool, how to avoid common pitfalls, and how to best store this data.

With great enthusiasm Dennis talked about how to collect data about your software and graph it to information. I liked the structure of the presentation: 1) technical introduction 2) demo 3) best practices and pitfalls during and after the demo.
Dennis really knows what he's talking about and is very inspiring!
