Vispyr is a one-command solution that provides continuous profiling and comprehensive monitoring for applications running on EC2 instances with proper network security and zero manual configuration. By automating the deployment and configuration of the observability stack, we help facilitate the adoption of continuous profiling as an important observability signal, complementary to metrics and traces.
Vispyr is composed of a backend and an agent. The agent attaches to the application and generates telemetry data that is sent to Vispyr's backend, which collects and stores this data while provisioning an easy-to-use dashboard where the user can see and correlate:
- CPU and Memory utilization
- P99 Latency metrics by application routes
- Flamegraph and table of continuous profiling data
- Scatterplot graph and table for distributed tracing
- A trace waterfall panel for analyzing any selected trace
Vispyr currently supports only NodeJS applications
The application to be instrumented and monitored must be running on an EC2 instance.
- To deploy and teardown Vispyr in AWS, please use our CLI.
- To see our observability stack and how its components are integrated, visit our backend page.
- For a demonstration of Vispyr's functionality in your local environment, we provide the Demo App.
