Sign up, get your API key, and start tracking. Your first chart appears in under a minute.
Count events like signups, errors, deploys, or purchases. Every count is timestamped and charted automatically.
curl "https://ezstat.dev/api/ez\
?ezkey=YOUR_KEY\
&stat=signups\
&count=1"Record measurements like response times, queue depths, CPU usage, or revenue. EzStat computes min, max, avg, and percentiles.
curl "https://ezstat.dev/api/ez\
?ezkey=YOUR_KEY\
&stat=response_time\
&value=42"Open your dashboard. Your stats are already graphed with auto-scaling axes, time ranges, and trend lines. Set alerts in one click.

We removed everything that makes metrics painful. What's left is the fastest path from "I want to track this" to a chart on your screen.
Every language has HTTP. Use curl, fetch, requests, http.Get — whatever you already have. Zero dependencies.
No sidecar containers. No DaemonSets. No processes eating RAM on your servers. Your app makes one HTTP call. That's it.
No prometheus.yml. No alertmanager.yml. No docker-compose.yml for your monitoring stack. Sign up and start tracking.
No scrape configs. No retention tuning. No federation. No Thanos. We handle the time-series database so you don't have to.
No dashboard JSON imports. No data source configuration. No panel queries. Your charts exist the moment your first data point arrives.
It's HTTP GET. If you leave, change one URL. Your code doesn't know or care where the metrics go. The simplest abstraction is no abstraction.
Free tier. No credit card. No SDK. No configuration. Just one HTTP request and your charts are live.
