Yes, at IFTTT we use this. I've been pleasantly surprised at the amount of traffic statsd can handle, even without sampling.

We also believe in measuring everything you can. We're interacting with many APIs across many boxes. Statsd + graphite are the tools we use to understand what's happing at runtime.

Graphite has a lot of warts, but it's really powerful once you get used to it. There are plenty of pretty interfaces you can put over graphite, but nothing really matches it for ease of ad-hoc queries.

Typically I'll use graphite to view ad-hoc metrics and build reports. When I find I'm repeatedly viewing a particular graphite report then I'll "hard-code" it in gdash [1] for the rest of the team.

We use this combo to track thousands of separate metrics and we've been pretty happy with it so far.
