Description

APM and visualization both.

We really need some extension to the section discussing monitoring. Open source and (major) SaaS offerings in APM, visualization, etc. And how they compete/complement CloudWatch.

Also some links in general on monitoring, as well as possibly some comparisons, e.g. http://blog.takipi.com/datadog-vs-signalfx-vs-new-relic-vs-wavefront-which-dashboard-should-you-choose/

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing monitoring section in the guide, research popular APM and visualization tools (e.g., Datadog, New Relic, Grafana) and how they compare with AWS CloudWatch. Propose additions with links and brief comparisons.
