Relic, maker of application performance management software for Ruby on
Rails environments, has announced a new free version of its performance
monitoring solution, as well as new features to its enterprise version.
New Relic announced Rails Performance Management (RPM) Lite, a free,
supported performance monitoring product that helps developers and
application managers optimize production Rails applications. Developers
who use RPM Lite can troubleshoot problems fast by seeing how their
applications perform, in production and in real time. The free
performance monitoring service is now available to anyone for unlimited
use on as many applications or hosts as they need, company officials
said.
RPM Lite monitors controller actions; ActiveRecord and database
utilization; CPU and physical memory utilization; and slowest pages
with drilldowns into page response time and slowest components. In
addition RPM Lite features a Real-Time Dashboard displaying the
performance and availability of all pf a user's Rails applications at a
glance; weekly email reports; Apple iPhone access for monitoring on the
go; and no limit to the number of hosts or applications a user can
monitor, or to the number of users in an account
“Being without New Relic RPM was like being stuck in a traffic jam,
with frustrating lane changes that led nowhere,” said Ryan Boyce, CEO
of iOffer.com. “Using RPM is like speeding through the carpool lane.
It’s fast and simple, and enables us to fine-tune our application for
much better performance.”
