Some details are in this issue here: > https://github.com/prometheus/client_ruby/issues/9 We run a statsd server on our application servers, and our applications invoke statsd operations against various counters and gauges. The statsd protocol is UDP based and very fast. statsd itself keeps all data in memory and flushes it to its backend every few seconds. Multiple implementations of statsd exist. We use Datadog's, but there are lots of implementations out there. Best regards, --Michael
