Pepperdata

Pepperdata provides dynamic Kubernetes resource optimization and observability for data-intensive workloads, increasing cluster utilization, improving performance, and reducing cost in real time across Spark, MapReduce, Tez, and Kubernetes environments. Its REST API gives programmatic access to the same observability data available in the Pepperdata dashboard: time-series metrics with series breakdowns and filters (/m), application and job details including counters and cost/performance tuning recommendations (/jobdetails), and full CRUD over metric alarms (/alarms). Authentication uses a custom API-key header. Pepperdata is a portfolio company of Wing Venture Capital.

Pepperdata publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Alarms API, Job Details API, and Metrics API. Tagged areas include Company, Observability, Monitoring, Kubernetes, and Big Data.

Pepperdata’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, engineering blog, support, pricing, signup flow, and 15 more developer resources.
