Graphite

Monitors and visualizes time-series data

About Graphite

Graphite is a software tool that focuses on monitoring and visualizing time-series data, which consists of data points collected at specific intervals. It was initially developed in 2006 and became open-source in 2008, allowing it to be widely adopted by large companies. Graphite's main function is to help businesses store, retrieve, share, and visualize their time-series data, but it does not collect data itself. Instead, it allows users to input metrics into its database, making it essential for monitoring performance metrics like application performance and database request times. Unlike many competitors, Graphite operates on both low-cost hardware and cloud infrastructure, making it accessible for various clients, including e-commerce platforms and software development communities. The company generates revenue through support services, custom development, and consulting, ensuring that businesses can maximize the use of the tool while contributing to its ongoing development.
