Hello, I was directed here through the mentioning of blueflood. I hope it is ok to share some product information. Please let me know if there is a more appropriate way to do it. My only goal is to offer solution to solve the pain we run into frequently ourselves.
Rackspace Metrics (the product team behind blueflood) is currently doing many times more than 300 metrics per second. Our goal of this year is to reach to a new scale from where we are at, driven from the needs of big internal adoption this year. So blueflood project would be live and kicking.
Here is the most recent update on Rackspace Metrics product. All the functional work are through blueflood: http://bit.ly/rax-metrics-mvp
Also, there is a hidden gem in monitoring unknown for most of the startups. My other product, Rackspace Monitoring, is a SaaS product designed to assist Rackspace business instead of making big bucks. If you have a Rackspace cloud account, which requires minimum $50 service charge, you will be able to use Rackspace Monitoring for free. You can use it to monitor any other servers you host anywhere. This means that if your monitoring budget is already above $50 (all cost considered), you really should look into Rackspace Monitoring.
Please also feel free to reach out to me. We are located at the same location of Rackspace Startup Program in San Francisco. We talk to startups all the time and always enjoy the learning.
If you are considering software-as-a-service solution, Rackspace has just released public APIs of Cloud Metrics powered by blueflood at no additional cost.
