SEEKING FREELANCER (short term) | Global, Preferably Pacific Timezone (PST), Good English Communication | Remote Only We have a new node.js / nginx app running in AWS and need it hooked up to an monitoring / alerting system, such as Grafana / Prometheus. We have not used Grafana and Prometheus before and are looking for someone experienced with them and can recommend the right configurations for our use case. We were…

I am curious why you're transitioning off from Datadog? A monitoring solution based on Grafana and Prometheus tends to have a high initial setup cost plus on-going maintenance since it's self-hosted and lacks some of the features that Datadog offers out of the box (alert customization for instance).

$$$

Custom metrics on Datadog are the main reason. We are a game company so we have all the metrics from the client games going through our server, which then send them to Datadog as custom metrics. This lets us monitor our client games in real time. When we started with Datadog many years ago it was fine, but then about 1.5 years ago they changed their billing to only allow 100 custom metrics per host. We were using about 2000 custom metrics per host. We had to aggregate the custom metrics down to an almost non-useful level to stay within the 100 custom metrics per host.

Also the $15 per host starts to add up if you want to run many smaller hosts rather than a handful of large ones.

I've been on many calls with my Datadog account rep and they refuse to budge on this. I would stay with them in a heartbeat if it was reasonably priced for what we want to do.

SEEKING WORK | Ukraine, remote only

Looking for a remote work as a junior flutter developer. I've been freelancing for some time in the past as a native Android developer using Java. Now in the process of switching to flutter. Last app that I've published was written in flutter. It is a wallpaper app, built mostly using Dart and Flutter with some bit of Kotlin. For a backend I used Firebase's Database & Storage, which are served by an admin database management utility I've created using JavaScript and Node.js. For scraping images from various sites I've used Python and Selenium. App's play store page: https://tinyurl.com/y5xq9zrr

Skills: Flutter, Dart, Java, JavaScript, Node.js, Firebase

SEEKING WORK | Amsterdam, remote only

I have 2 years of experience with ReactJS/NodeJS.

What people don't know about my though is that I've studied for 10 years worth of topics (9 years in official degrees) and can therefore tackle any programming problem. Including any general practical statistics problem as I've had 1.5 years worth of statistics courses.

Examples of the latter are:

- Programming in Java/Spring Boot for a client (3 months)

- Programming in Python (various engagements)

- Writing pentesting tools in C (I wanted to know how tcpdump works)

- Writing iOS apps in Objective-C (6 months of experience)

- Giving a course on information retrieval
