A PaaS That Comes With Logging & Metrics
Hey All,
I'm building a PaaS with a simple Heroku like interface that comes with a fully-featured ELK logging stack, and Grafana for metrics. We'll handle all the configuration and managing for these observability tools and you'll get production-grade monitoring for your code in seconds with no additional set up or configuration.
Would you be interested in a product like this?
Seems cool. Now that things like Netlify are taking off the missing piece for them is server management, functions just aren't enough. Plus the logs/metrics in Netlify suck. AWS Fargate is nearly there but I want something way more simple, just http services behind a domain.
If I could:
and it just runs, and scales reasonably, you'd have my business.
Interesting! You pointed out two different things you're interested in. Do you want a fargate that is simpler to use? or a fargate with better monitoring?
For my new startup I'm using Netlify which has been amazing. I've used primarily AWS in the past. There was a little bit of pain setting up the serverless function aspect of it, so that's where I think the experience can be improved.
I'd love a platform where I get all the existing stuff + I hand over a dockerfile, specify my environment variables and get near instantaneous rolling deploys (in my experience Fargate deployments have been very slow).
That alone I would pay for, I don't use any of the build plugin stuff that Netlify offers because it's not so interesting.
On the monitoring side, just exposing the underlying metrics is enough. With netlify I have no visibility into my function metrics. Container CPU, memory, network traffic and number of instances would be enough I imagine
