## What it is
A Django app that exports Prometheus metrics for HTTP requests/responses, Django ORM database access, and Django cache operations. It integrates via middleware and URL routing to expose a /metrics endpoint for Prometheus scraping.

## Use cases
- monitor django application metrics with prometheus
- export request latency histograms from a django app
- track django orm database query metrics
- instrument django cache hits and misses for prometheus
- expose a /metrics endpoint in django for prometheus scraping
- add custom latency buckets for django request monitoring
- namespace django prometheus metrics per project

## When to choose
- you run Django 4.2+ on Python 3.9+ and want Prometheus metrics with minimal setup
- you need request, ORM, and cache metrics out of the box via middleware
- you want configurable latency histogram buckets and metric namespaces

## When to avoid
- your stack is not Django (e.g., Flask, FastAPI, or a non-Python service)
- you need metrics for non-Django ORM databases or non-Django cache backends
- you want a full observability suite with dashboards and alerting rather than metric export
