We designed pup to be first and foremost accessible to developers, but it will work just the same on production systems.

Once you get addicted to metrics and want more aggregation / graphing / alerting / analysis capabilities, there's a number of open-source components you can pipe your statsd data into. Or you can use our own http://datadoghq.com service for that.
