The StatsD architecture is based on delivering the metrics via UDP packets from any application to a central statsD server. Although the original StatsD server was written in Node.js, there are many implementations today, with Netdata being one of them.</p> <p>StatsD makes it easier for you to instrument your applications, delivering value around three main pillars: open-source, control, and modularity. That’s a real windfall for full-stack developers who need to code quickly, troubleshoot application issues on the fly, and often don’t have the necessary background knowledge to use complex monitoring platforms.</p>
