Metrics - Statsd to CYA


So we have a dependency on a 3rd party service.
We publish events to this message bus.
We ran performance tests in our PQA environment one day and we very disappointed with the results: some 1.5 second response times. 
So we came up with the idea of NOT publishing events.
Response times dropped to 0.1 seconds.

Now we should wrap the call with a Statsd timer so we can let the other service folks know they need to improve performance.


"You should have published your events asynchronously"
I know.  shut up... :)
