Is this going to be published as a physical book too?

Wouldn't be a bad idea to put the free sample chapter behind an email list signup - worked well for my book!

check_mk is a very useful monitoring system which doesn't seem to be included: http://mathias-kettner.com/check_mk.html

Love your site design. it's clean and easy to read, great presentation. Do you just whip up a new design from scratch each time you create a book or did you hire someone or purchase off the shelf? Curious as these things take me forever..

The looks to be more about infrastructure monitoring... less about application monitoring (i.e. New Relic / AppDynamics, and synthetics)

Another thought. Two really: - Lead us into more about the why before showing the price. Really tell the story of the pain that so many of us can identify with. - Use a standard three teir pricing box style, with the values of each above the price. Something like: https://planscope.io/pricing/

I usually find a template I like and modify it. I really should start paying someone. It's not my core skillset. :)

Not as this stage - my experience with how fast physical books date hasn't been good.
