Heh, I read Graphite as the monitoring tool[1] and was very confused for a second what they want with that old thing.

I have such fond memories of Graphite's simplicity. Simply hit the server with a metric and value and BOOM it's on the chart, no dependencies, no fuss.
Yeah, "haven't most of the users already moved to Prometheus?" was my first reaction.

Turns out that the name's been re-used by some sort of slop code review system. Smells like a feature rather than a product, so I guess they were lucky to be acquired while the market's still frothy.

I confused it with the design tool and I was confused too lol
