In plain words

l2met is a metrics platform that transforms log data into actionable insights for system monitoring and business analytics. Designed for developers, it extracts both system-level and business-level metrics from logs with minimal overhead. The tool prioritizes ease of use and low maintenance, addressing gaps in existing solutions by offering superior developer experience for teams managing increasingly complex systems.

As systems grow in complexity, it becomes increasingly important to know the precise dynamics of each system and how these systems relate to your business. Achieving this insight is most commonly done through metrics. However, creating a rich set of metrics that integrate both system level information and business level information can be challenging. Today’s solutions to these problems are lacking when it comes to developer experience. L2met is unlike other solutions in that it is optimized for an excellent developer experience. Since l2met is painless to maintain and easy to use, you will create more metrics and consequently have more insight into the operations of your systems and…from r.32k.io

    Hey HN, We’re building Weave: an ML-powered tool to measure engineering output, that actually understands engineering output! Why? Here’s the thing: almost every eng leader already measures output - either openly or behind closed doors. But they rely on metrics like lines of code (correlation with effort: ~0.3), number of PRs, or story points (slightly better at ~0.35). These metrics are, frankly, terrible proxies for productivity. We’ve developed a custom model that analyzes code and its impact directly, with a far better 0.94 correlation. The result? A standardized engineering output…
