The Little Metrics Book
Metrics are data points that we spend effort collecting, aggregating, storing, and reasoning about to answer things we don't know yet. If you take an off-the-shelf product, for a good amount of metrics, you'll be paying upwards of $10k/mo USD for collection and aggregation. After reading this book, you'll have new tools and thinking that will help you answer new questions, and you'll develop the intuition and confidence to run your own free metrics stack with systems like StatsD and Graphite.

About the Book
This is a book about a subject I love. I wrote it so that metrics doesn't become a lost art only handled by just the infrastructure people, but to make it accessible so that anyone can become such an infrastructure person and that metrics can become a cross-cutting concern within a team or organization.
At the very least, I made sure to fill it with my distilled experience you should have in order to start on the right foot. This is the stuff you can't google for. I called it a _little book_, because I value your time, and I took the extra effort to carefully pick what goes in and what goes out, so I hope that the result is a book with zero bullshit, if I may be blunt.
