Hi guys,

Someone using this in production?

For istance, how do you know based on the process usage when it's time to scale up an application?

Thanks.

This can be used in production for sure. We used it a lot. Now we use https://github.com/soyuka/pidusage (BTW: This still works)

Both packages just shows the CPU usage allocated by the CPU. It proper environments, it'll reach to 100%, but in cloud environments like Heroku it won't reach to 100%.
