Our sponsorship program has been a great success, and we’ve got another great sponsor to help us keep this site running and bring you the horrors that your jaded eyes crave, along with special features like TDWTF Live and our recent BYOC contest about the Lucky Deuce. Our newest sponsor is Scout. They donate $10 to the Larimer County Humane Society every time somebody tries out Scout, and now they’re launching a new tool…


Founded in 2009, Scout has been delivering SaaS based server monitoring software for over 6 years. With StatsD & AWS support, Scout Server Monitoring has been the clean, reliable alternative to expensive build-your-own monitoring solutions.

Now, due to overwhelming customer demand for a fresh approach to APM, Scout has built a cloud-based / SaaS Application Performance Management tool for critical web applications. Dominant SaaS APM solutions (e.g. New Relic) are almost a decade old. Scout APM is a fresh take with modern, streamlined interface and unmatched capabilities.

Scout APM provides deep metrics, analysis and solutions for performance problems in production web application. For developers, Scout APM is the fastest path from performance nightmares to the specific line-of-code. With built-in git integration, Scout APM can even identify the specific developer who can solve the problem based on code commit history.

For managers and business owners, Scout APM prioritizes slow performance according to business impact. Scout APM allows customers to add context to find out who is affected most by slow performance.
