## What it is
A self-hosted Rails gem that monitors application performance, tracking response times (p50/p90/p99), throughput, slow requests, background jobs, and system resources. All data is stored locally in Redis as a free alternative to New Relic or Datadog APM.

## Use cases
- monitor rails app performance without paying for new relic
- find slow controllers and actions in my rails application
- track p90 p99 response times self-hosted
- monitor sidekiq job performance
- see recent requests and 500 errors in production rails
- watch cpu and memory usage of my rails server

## When to choose
- you run a Rails app and want a free, self-hosted APM without sending data to third parties
- you need quick insight into slow requests, throughput, and job performance
- you already run Redis and want zero external dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need distributed tracing across microservices or long-term metric retention
- your stack is not Ruby on Rails
- you need alerting, anomaly detection, or team dashboards at scale

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, tracing, logging, analytics
- domain: monitoring, web-development, developer-tools, performance
- platform: ruby, self-hosted
- tags: rails, apm, performance-monitoring, redis, self-hosted-apm, new-relic-alternative, web-server
