About FiveRuns

FiveRuns exists for the express purpose of delivering affordable and radically simplified tools for monitoring applications and their supporting infrastructure with a focus on Ruby on Rails.

We deliver a simple, intuitive user experience where important product benefits can be attained in minutes. Our products are designed to mask the complexity of what they do because we don’t believe that complex management requires complex monitoring tools, nor streams of meaningless data.

Our products are written in Ruby and Ruby on Rails and delivered to market by an experienced management team and expert Ruby developers. Our goal is to further the adoption of Ruby on Rails by offering a suite of products that delight and add compelling value to both Rails developers and systems administrators alike.
