Mason McLead, chief technology officer of Software.com, knows what it’s like to have a development team revolt against monitoring software. https://www.crunchbase.com/person/mason-mclead deployed a monitoring solution at a previous company when he had an employee that, on one level, he already knew wasn’t working out.

That’s why he’s very clear that Software.com’s DevOps metrics tool is not used to report on individual developers, but rather to aggregate data about a team’s work.

The data flows in using a tool called Snow Plow, then goes into an Amazon Kinesis https://thenewstack.io/aws-aerospike-team-up-for-more-efficient-data-streaming/.

Software.com has used its own solution to speed up its data team.
