## What it is
Brubeck is a Statsd-compatible metrics aggregator written in C, designed to sit in front of Graphite or other metrics backends. It is explicitly unmaintained, with maintained forks available.

## Use cases
- aggregate statsd metrics in a high-throughput infrastructure
- replace the original Node.js statsd with a faster C implementation
- collect gauges, counters, timers, and histograms for Graphite
- run a lightweight metrics aggregation daemon on Linux
- expose an HTTP endpoint to poll live metric statistics

## When to choose
- you need a fast, low-overhead statsd-compatible aggregator on Linux
- your metrics stack is Graphite-based and you want a C implementation
- you are willing to use a maintained fork instead of the original repo

## When to avoid
- you need the full statsd feature set, including client sampling rates
- you must run on macOS or unsupported platforms
- you require actively maintained software with ongoing fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: abandoned
- function: monitoring, analytics, http-server
- domain: monitoring, analytics
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: statsd, metrics-aggregator, graphite, c, unmaintained, devops, linux
