For this edition of The New Stack Analysts podcast, Alex welcomes back SignalFx founder and CTO Phillip Liu, who is joined this time by Karthik Rau, SignalFx founder and CEO. Also participating is James Turnbull, VP of Engineering at Kickstarter, and co-host Donnie Berkholz of 451 Research.

Karthik explains that SignalFx was designed from the ground up to provide better monitoring and visibility for modern distributed applications: "We're seeing new applications being designed as distributed applications, and more microservices architectures, and it's quite common to find applications to have dozens, hundreds, and potentially even thousands of components."
