What is Polymer MetricsOne?
Polymer built Polymer MetricsOne for workloads that outgrow DIY setups: consistent latency, honest limits, and one-line failover between zones. The service bills by the minute, scales vertically and horizontally, and exposes every metric through an open API. Polymer operates it as a fully managed service: patching, capacity, and failover are handled upstream, while access controls and spend alerts stay in your hands.
Key features
- Role-based access control with audit logging
- Private networking with no cross-zone transfer fees
- Drop-in Terraform provider and CloudFormation templates
- Built-in daily snapshots with 35-day retention
- Live migration for planned maintenance, no downtime window
- SOC 2 Type II audited controls on every plan tier
Typical use cases
- Regulated workloads that require audit trails and data residency
- Disaster recovery sites kept warm without idle hardware costs
- Seasonal businesses that scale down aggressively off-peak
- Internal platforms serving dozens of product teams
Why Polymer?
Polymer publishes list prices for every region and never gates core capabilities behind enterprise-only tiers. Capacity is pre-provisioned, so the performance you benchmark in a sandbox is the performance you get in production. And because egress rates are flat, the bill at the end of the month matches the estimate you made at the start.
Getting started
Create an account, pick a region, and the default configuration is live in under a minute. The quickstart walks through your first deployment in about ten minutes, and the managed Terraform module turns the same setup into code you can review.
