Been using Metrist for a few months now. So nice to get status updates delivered straight to Slack as opposed to trusting vendor status pages and eventually having to just defer to Twitter.
The change in color likely has to do with the lighting. When it's removed from the wall you can see the square of light placed on the frame. https://youtu.be/5-RFj1Slcws?t=22
Reflect | Senior Software Engineers | Portland, OR | ONSITE
We’re looking to add experienced software engineers to our team to help build, scale, and manage our hosted and on-prem platforms. Engineers in these roles will help define much of the technical direction of Reflect. You’ll get to work with everyone on our small team and wear lots of different hats, both technical and non-technical.
Reflect is considered infrastructure by our customers so service availability is extremely important to our business. We all practice DevOps and we deploy our stack amongst many different cloud providers. We’re golang on the backend and ES6/React on the front end with some services and tools written in Ruby.
Reflect is the API for data visualization, solving the data visualization problem for developers the way Twilio solves communication, Stripe solves payments, and Sendgrid solves email: by making it a service. With Reflect, developers can add data visualization to their web and mobile applications in minutes.

Great question! We're different than other tools because we're an ingredient component that developers add to their applications and services (Tableau + others are standalone tools).
We're working with larger companies, like Simply Measured, who are using Reflect to power their customer-facing products.
Most companies (large or small) don't have the core competency for data visualization in-house -- Reflect helps fill that gap.
This is a really great point. I think it would have been useful to point out that we're currently going through an accelerator (Techstars), so all this data is somewhat atypical. Additionally, I wouldn't say we're "hyper focused" on these metrics. Rather, it's something I check periodically in order to help think about shaping my habits. Does that make sense?
I suggest the OP check out Cloudability[1], which provides realtime cost management for AWS and other cloud providers. We help over 10,000 customers make sure this doesn't happen to them. (disclosure: I work there)
I recommend checking out CPUSage. They offer a very similar service that's language agnostic. They're pretty early on AFAIK, so they still have a few kinks to work out, but i've found it to be pretty solid.
