That's why I've taken to calling out full names now, like "Hashicorp's Atlas", because yes, it's a mess.

There's also Atlas [0], the learning environment from O'Reilly. Also announced a couple days ago.

FWIW we've called it Atlas internally for years.

Or is the Facebook's Atlas: http://atlassolutions.com/ ?

The issue with naming conflicts arises from the fact that these things are generally created and named internally long before they're released as open source.

#8I work at Netflix and use Atlas every day. It's our go-to performance monitoring tool, and has solved countless performance and reliability issues. It's exciting to have it open source!
I summarized it in a talk recently at Surge 2014, where I showed its role for a performance investigation, and how it is central to everything:

There's more features to Atlas I didn't mention; check out the Overview on github linked in the blog post.

#9Sounds like a great platform. I wonder how many instances of everything they need for peak time. I have a system that is rated for 5M Time series data points per second and it takes about 150 physical servers so I am curious about what a Netflix sized ( 20M time series data points per second ) would look like.

And RIPE Atlas [0], an Internet measurement network.
