Metrist Launches to Create Observability for Cloud Infrastructure, APIs, and SaaS Products

[ad_1]

“You wouldn’t dream of operating your internal services blindly and you need to manage your cloud dependencies with the same care” – Joseph Ruscio, Heavybit

Using social media as the best source of information during a cloud dependency outage is now a thing of the past thanks to Metrist, Inc., an observability startup launched today by two PagerDuty alumni. Metrist gives organizations real-time visibility into cloud dependencies so that they can address outages effectively and hold vendors accountable. The company also announces the General Availability of its product and $5.5m in seed funding led by Heavybit.

Matthew Hensrud, Sr Director of Platform Engineering at Freshly, had this to say about Metrist: “No more waiting for third-party providers to acknowledge an incident we noticed and began investigating twenty minutes ago. Metrist completes our observability story to monitor our third-party services and infrastructure with confidence.”

The average digital business uses more than 100 third-party cloud services to power its products and run the company1, and those services cause up to 70% of all software outages2 with an average cost of $300k per hour3. When downtime happens with services like AWS and Stripe, engineers often address incidents blindly because they don’t have the visibility to know if a cloud dependency is a contributing factor, which then results in confusion, longer mean time to resolution, and higher costs for every incident.

Metrist created a platform to understand the health of every third-party dependency a customer relies on. Out-of-the-box functional tests run continuously to create visibility into more than 60 popular IaaS, API, and SaaS products. Users can run Metrist software securely on their own for functional tests against any service, while an eBPF agent and language plugins enable observation of how applications interact with cloud dependencies in real time. The result is a platform that alerts users immediately when issues start, offering clear and trusted details on what the problem is, so that impact can be mitigated, incidents resolved quickly, and vendors held accountable to SLAs.

Two veterans of Observability and Incident Management co-founded Metrist after working together as early employees of PagerDuty. Ryan Duffield, CTO, and Jeff Martens, CEO, built Metrist because they experienced first-hand the problems caused by cloud dependencies, and heard time and time again that legacy observability tools didn’t solve the problem. In addition to PagerDuty, Duffield and Martens worked in product development at New Relic, Server Density, and Netdata between them.

“Third parties are a first-class concern, and it’s time for observability to treat them that way,” said Jeff Martens, CEO & Co-Founder of Metrist. “We shouldn’t have to wait for status pages to update with vague messages, if they are updated at all, and we certainly shouldn’t have to rely on Twitter for clues into the health of the critical services that run our businesses. At Metrist, we believe every developer deserves an easy way to know the status of any third-party service, with timely notifications and clear metrics that define the health of their cloud dependencies.”

Metrist is also sharing details of $5.5m in seed funding. Heavybit, the leader in developer tool funding, led the company’s financing, with participation from Morado Ventures and other early-stage funds. Joining the round were notable angel investors in the space, including Alex Solomon, co-founder of PagerDuty, as well as Steve Klein and Scott Klein, co-founders of StatusPage.io.

“Modern applications depend on an ever-increasing number of cloud products managed by external vendors, but the overall approach to observability hasn’t changed. You wouldn’t dream of operating your internal services blindly and you need to manage your cloud dependencies with the same care,” said Joseph Ruscio, General Partner at Heavybit, on why they invested.

Ash Patel, Managing Director at Morado Venture Partners, had this to say: “Successfully managing a modern technology application stack is a data-driven business, and Metrist is positioned to own some of the most interesting data on what makes our digital world run. Ryan and Jeff’s backgrounds make them ideally suited to make cloud dependency management a reality.”

Metrist is generally available today and offers a free plan for developers and paid plans starting at just $99/month. All new signups begin with a 30-day free trial of the Enterprise offering. For more information, visit https://metrist.io.

PPP KIT™ is proud to announce the new Ionizer 2.0 to remove pearly penile papules at home.

In early adulthood, some men develop small white bumps on the area of ​​the penis, this condition is called Pearly Penile Papules (PPP) or Tyson Glands. Although these white bumps are perfectly normal and have no negative health effects, they can be eliminated in several ways, whether with dermatological treatment or at home.

Due to their appearance, pearly penile papules can be a source of anxiety as they are often mistakenly confused with more serious conditions such as STDs. To remedy this, one can seek to cure PPP via laser surgery through a dermatologist, which costs more than $1,000. Some creams and natural oils claim to reduce PPPs, but there is no documentation proving their effectiveness. PPP KIT is here to fill the gap and provide a guaranteed and cost-effective method to eliminate pearly penile papules at home.

After 2 years and over 5,000 men getting rid of their pearly penile papules thanks to the PPP KIT, it’s been proven that men can finally regain their confidence at a fraction of the cost of traditional dermatology treatment.

The PPP KIT Ionizer 2.0 upgrade is all about convenience. The new PPP remover is smaller, lighter, and charged via USB-C, making the overall procedure easier.

Groundbreaking Fibroid Workshop for Patients at the AAGL’s Global Congress on Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

[ad_1]

“Our goal is that as we demonstrate evidence-based options, we will educate the patient on fibroids, improve trust, and reduce fears.” – AAGL Medical Director and webinar moderator, Linda Bradley

The options for medical intervention and surgical procedures for fibroid disorders have become more complex and fragmented with many patients reporting difficulty and uncertainty in deciphering fibroid treatment options. This first-of-its-kind, patient-centric webinar, hosted by AAGL members, Drs. Linda Bradley, Jessica Opoku-Anane, Cara King, and Sony Sukhbir Singh, seeks to educate patients on state-of-the-art therapeutics and minimally invasive surgical options for myomectomy, hysterectomy, and hysteroscopy, in addition to non-surgical options for fibroids. Presenters will share recent medical and surgical updates, help patients identify questions to ask their provider, and encourage strategies for self-care and self-advocacy throughout their fibroid journey.

In addition to the world renown panelists, two ardent patient advocate founders, Sateria Venable from the Fibroid Foundation, and Tanika Grey Valbrun from the White Dress Project will also participate to explain the importance of advocacy and to promote the session to their constituents.

“We believe that through patient engagement, clear communication, answering questions, and showing videos of surgical procedures, patients will learn about their options, gain confidence in minimally invasive treatments, and come to understand the concept of fibroid pathophysiology – that each fibroid is unique,” remarked AAGL Medical Director and webinar moderator, Linda Bradley. “Our goal is that as we demonstrate evidence-based options, we will educate the patient on fibroids, improve trust, and reduce fears.”

All those seeking more information about fibroids and treatment options are invited to attend. Registration is now open. This webinar will be recorded and available for viewing on the patient focused page on AAGL.org beginning December 15, 2022.

Joseph Simone Of Simone Development Says Outpatient Job Growth Influences Medical Real Estate Development

[ad_1]

Burke Outpatient Rehabilitation Center at Simone’s Hutchinson Metro Center

“As hospitals nationwide seek to grow their presence in new markets, Simone Development Companies is ready to partner with these healthcare providers to deliver state-of-the-art facilities in locations accessible to everyone,” said Joanna Simone.

Joseph Simone, President of Simone Development Companies, said recent job growth in the ambulatory services sector has healthcare developers facing increased demand for outpatient care centers.

“In the past year, we’ve seen a 10.7% increase in jobs related to ambulatory care services in New York City, with many of those new jobs in outpatient care centers,” said Joe Simone, President, Simone Development Companies], president of Simone Development Companies. “This double-digit job growth is a signal to medical real estate developers that more outpatient care centers will be needed soon.”

According to the New York state Department of Labor, New York City’s outpatient care centers—one segment of the ambulatory care service sector—reported about 24,000 workers in September, up 6.3% from a year ago. Other ambulatory services, such as home healthcare, saw even bigger job gains, according to New York labor officials.

In many cases, the growth of outpatient care centers is driven by hospitals expanding their services. At Simone Development Companies’ Hutchinson Metro Center campus in the Bronx, Burke Rehabilitation Hospital recently held a ribbon cutting to commemorate its newly expanded Outpatient Rehabilitation Center. The new facility more than doubles the size of Burke’s former location and provides over 5,000 additional square feet of brightly lit and open space, outfitted with the latest technologies.

Demand for new outpatient real estate is also strong outside of New York City. In Centereach, N.Y., Simone Development Companies is transforming a 63,000-square-foot retail store located at 2112 Middle Country Road into the future Catholic Health Ambulatory & Urgent Care at Centereach.
