Scout, our server monitoring service, has grown quite a bit in 2009.

It hurts – it feels like giving up. You’re stuck on a problem and do the last thing that makes sense – stop thinking about it. And the minute you forgot about the problem the solution comes into focus. Sometimes it’s a shower, for others it’s a long walk or playing a video game.

Scout, our server monitoring and application, is now available for public consumption.

We’ve used Scout for several months internally. Along with Colloquy, Google Docs, Basecamp, and Skitch, it’s one of the few apps I use every day.

We recently sat down with Geoffrey Grosenbach for the Ruby on Rails Podcast and talked about Scout, PlaceShout, working as a remote team, and balancing client work with internal projects.

We thought you’d like Scout – but we didn’t expect to reach our 100 account limit in about an hour and a half.
