The Github repot, last commit, was bumping to version 0.3.0 over 4 months ago, but the 'learn more' pages all point to downloading version 0.2.0, from over 5 months ago. The few commits in that period seem fairly innocuous, is this a mistake or is there a good reason not to use the latest version?
How does this compare to the real user monitoring in NewRelic? I know NR is commercial and not cheap, but in features? Thanks!
It's a subset of what NR provides. Bucky gives you aggregate stats on the performance of your endpoints and pages as experienced by your users. NR gives you that, and a bunch of other stuff which we hope to build as OS tools of their own some day.
Is this somewhat similar to Soasta Mpulse RUM?
The way you inject the code to start sending data points is similar. With them i have to specify what i want to track though, using tags. It won't allow me to track all ajax calls.
If you're interested, HubSpot is currently looking for engineers and interns: http://github.hubspot.com/#frontend-jobs
They actually offered me an interview chance after completing a set of challenges they posted on Talentbuddy.

It's great how HubSpot continues to open source these things.
I could imagine only using the client part and sending the data to our python web server that is already enabled to send monitoring data to stats/graphite.
but why did they call it bucky? There is a python statsd / collectd -> graphite bridge https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bucky
