Raintank's ambitious campaign to promote the democratization of metrics through their OpenSaaS app, Litmus, took center stage during a series of events across the U.S. and Europe, starting with Velocity East in NYC. Litmus, designed to enhance global performance and availability insights through Grafana dashboards, received significant interest, particularly due to its user-friendly integration and network performance data capabilities. The inaugural GrafanaCon in NYC, attended by over 100 participants, featured prominent talks from industry leaders such as Uber and Soundcloud, highlighting new features like Elasticsearch support and flexible dashboards. The momentum continued at All Things Open in North Carolina and OSMC in Nuremberg, where co-founders Torkel and Anthony engaged with the community, showcased Grafana's latest enhancements, and shared insights into its future, including an upcoming alerting engine. Following this whirlwind tour, Raintank's team returned to their dispersed locations worldwide to focus on further development, encouraging users to explore the newly released Grafana 2.5 and provide feedback.
