Tracelytics was a startup I co-founded based on X-Trace, which ended up as AppNeta's Traceview and is now part of the Solarwinds monitoring cloud suite of products (joining Librato, Pingdom, Papertrail). So look out for more tracing from us as well.

AppNeta is an application performance company that strives to elegantly answer questions about performance that developers and users face each day. We make TraceView, which enables distributed tracing (like X-Trace, Google Dapper, or Twitter Zipkin) for all major web servers, frameworks, languages, and browsers, and provide a service that collects and analyzes that data to provide beautiful charts, graphs, heatmaps, and request detail that help our customers better understand their application performance in real time.
We are currently looking for full-stack and backend-focused engineers who are interested in building innovative performance tools and helping us scale to meet our ever-increasing faucet of customer traffic -- we currently process tens of thousands of events per second. Our frontend is built with D3.js and Angular, and our backend is almost entirely Python, a bit of C++, MySQL, RabbitMQ, EC2, DynamoDB, Google BigQuery, S3, SQS, Hadoop, Celery, SQLAlchemy, etc.
We sit atop mountains of data and strive to provide intelligent, actionable insights for our customers about the performance of their app's code & servers. Processing & visualizing it all at scale is a big challenge, and we’re looking for talented engineers to help us. We're especially interested in engineers with experience dealing with large amounts of data in Python.
TraceView grew out of a Google-Ventures-funded startup called "Tracelytics" and continues as a tight-knit, smart team backed by a strong, growing company that is investing heavily in our product's future. Our application engineering team is made up of several engineers each in Boston and Providence, with our instrumentation team based in Vancouver.
Hi, here we are seeing this too, starting around September 27. Some of our worker processes have been getting DNS exception notifications, always at 1 minute past the hour, and we had been scratching our head about it. We'll open a ticket with AWS too. Thanks for helping us find out we're not the only ones seeing this!
Boston, MA & Providence, RI -- Full time & interns
AppNeta (formerly Tracelytics) http://dev.appneta.com
We work on elegantly answering questions about performance that web developers face each day. We ship instrumentation extensions for a growing list of web servers and application languages (Python, Ruby, Java, PHP, Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, etc) that follow & monitor web requests as they are forwarded between processes and servers.
We sit atop mountains of data and strive to provide intelligent, actionable insights for our customers about the performance of their app's code & servers. Processing & visualizing it all (at scale) is a big challenge, and we’re looking for talented engineers to help us.
Our current (and growing) "big data" stack consists of have a data faucet and processing pipeline that does a ton of writes (Python, Cassandra, Hadoop, MySQL, Celery, C/C++, etc), a web backend that does a comparably lower number of reads (Python), and an elegant, powerful interface (Backbone, D3, jQuery). We also use TBone, a Backbone library that we open-sourced that automagically manages data dependencies for you: http://tbonejs.org
We're a small team backed by a strong, growing company that is investing heavily in our product's future. Our work is distributed, agile, and test-driven. We're based in Boston, MA, with an office in Providence, RI. If you're interested drop me a line at cce@appneta.com or visit http://dev.appneta.com! Thanks!
Boston, MA or Providence, RI -- Full-stack engineer and front-end engineer positions at Tracelytics
At Tracelytics we work on elegantly answering questions about performance that web developers face each day. Our technology monitors the full web application stack, helping developers analyze and visualize changes in performance characteristics. Our work is distributed, agile, and test-driven.
We are not a consumer web startup. Our product is for nerds, by nerds.
Our stack is a fairly typical “big data” system: beneath a powerful interface (jQuery, D3, Backbone) we have a data faucet and processing pipeline that does a ton of writes (Cassandra, Hadoop, MySQL, RabbitMQ, Python, C/C++), a backend that does a ton of reads (Python).
