@jkowall Yes, I know what you mean and I know you guys are doing that, but that was not the approach we used at CoScale. Some host based network metrics were included but it was certainly not the cornerstone of our technology.
@jkowall The point was that CoScale is not network analytics. It's application aware infra monitoring with an agent optimized for container environments. Something most APM vendors still don't get. Putting an agent in your container is not the answer!
@DataCenterTT @newrelic@coscale .@newrelic made a VERY interesting move here. @CoScale has focused on #K8s monitoring specifically for 2 years, and thus has developed some advanced container monitoring features. Potentially important competitive / product implications enterprise IT pros should be aware of.
After @Comsofnv (where we sold part of the technology to OPNET), this is the 2nd UGent spin off that I worked for where the technology was sold to an US company. So if you have a spin-off or start-up that you'd like to grow and sell, hire my services. 😉
After 4 fab years at @coscale I have decided to take a sabbatical to focus on my other passion: wine! I will still keep in touch with the IT world, but will probably be a bit less active here. You can follow my wine mumblings on @peterarijs.
This is why you need lightweight container monitoring! Classical APM tool using almost a full core of CPU on a small Kubernetes cluster, 10 times more than @coscale does!
Announcing our latest Cool Vendors! We look at 5 companies that are innovative, impactful or intriguing in Performance Analysis. Well done to @Catchpoint , @coscale , @LightStepHQ , @outlyerapp & @unraveldata! Many thanks to my co-authors. https://t.co/oXu2BwmCu8
Very proud we made this happen! @coscale is recognized as a Cool Vendor in Performance Analysis by @Gartner_inc! This is a huge recognition, without even being a Gartner client. Kudos to the entire team!

.@thenewstack & I launched a survey to help better understand the #serverless ecosystem, use cases, patterns & practitioners. Please take & share the survey. https://t.co/Hwt1qljPqh #faas. Special thanks to @mikebroberts as we used some of his definitions in the survey.
Late read after vacation, but fully agree with @ttunguz on this. We might still miss some traditional monitoring features at @coscale, but clients choose us because we're far ahead on the container monitoring front, which is our competitive differentiator!

CoScale 3.22 is out with many great new features! 💪
- Support for @gluster storage / file system
- Interactive dimensions for more efficient slicing and dicing of data
- Alerting improvements for better context and control
- New graph design, updated widgets, and much more!
So I came back to this a couple of days later because I think is probably one of the most interesting things @mipsytipsy has talked about recently but will largely be ignored by the community at large. Many engineers' attitudes about marketing are wrong, and frankly harmful. https://t.co/I8o8qCdrGB
