What is StatsD?

StatsD is a front-end proxy for the Graphite/Carbon metrics server, originally written by Etsy's Erik Kastner. It is based on ideas from Flickr and this post by Cal Henderson: Counting and Timing. The server was written in Node, though there have been implementations in other languages since then.
