Also familiar: monitoring frontend is tragic-comic with no units and inscrutable data. It’s cute that the author thinks the internal version must be a lot better!

Nice, I haven't used the Profiler yet, will check that out soon. What languages have you used it with? I'm looking to use it with the JVM profiler.

[SD APM PM here] Yep, we support Java / JVM, Node.js, and Go; Python is coming soon

What’s the long term plan here with StackDriver and OpenCensus?

Are you eventually going to support high cardinality events with the ability to aggregate and then break down (as opposed to say Prometheus which pre-aggregates, so you can’t break down to debug, and doesn’t support high cardinality).

Would you be willing to add a contact method in your profile (twitter/email) for some offline questions?
