Kind of a disappointing read; guess I've scaled past them.

I was doing over 1 Million Metrics every 60s; I big problem I always found wasn't statsd. It was carbon.

Once you configure carbon on a big enough host with the right tools (haproxy is great here) you can really scale.

do you know why carbon isn't a problem in the post? and why "big enough host" isn't necessary?
