Simplifying Complexity with Netdata
At 7 Oaks Group, our journey with Netdata began out of curiosity and a desire to move away from the frustrations of complex monitoring setups. Our infrastructure, primarily composed of Kubernetes clusters and a selection of EC2/VM instances, required a monitoring solution that could provide instant, meaningful insights without the hassle of intricate configuration. The immediate value we discovered in Netdata was nothing short of revolutionary, offering us a level of insight into our systems that was both effortlessly attainable and profoundly impactful.
“I was immediately blown away and started using Netdata everywhere I could. Zero configuration required for incredible insight across multiple systems.”

Netdata’s comprehensive & real time metrics, minimal configuration, and straightforward custom alerting stood out as the features most crucial to our operations. These capabilities allowed us to not only monitor but also optimize our infrastructure with ease and accuracy.
Impactful Monitoring for Operational Excellence
Netdata has played a pivotal role in enabling 7 Oaks Group to optimize our infrastructure costs effectively. By providing a clear understanding of our applications' baseline performance and needs,
“we have been able to anticipate infrastructure requirements accurately, leading to a remarkable 50% reduction in spending on one of our key projects.”
This level of budget optimization, coupled with the ability to easily identify performance regressions and scale our infrastructure during peak hours, underscores the measurable benefits of integrating Netdata into our monitoring strategy. Moreover, the anomaly detection feature proved invaluable during an incident where our application performance was impacted by our hosting provider’s infrastructure updates. Netdata’s anomaly detection allowed us to quickly identify and understand the issue, confirming its external origin and mitigating its impact on our operations efficiently.
“We managed to cut infrastructure spending by about 50% on one project by having good, consistent insight into application demands.”
