A Go library for instrumenting code and exporting performance and runtime metrics to external metrics systems. It supports multiple sinks including StatsD, statsite, Prometheus, and in-memory aggregation via a flexible MetricSink interface.

Use cases

  • instrument go application metrics
  • export metrics to statsd
  • expose prometheus metrics endpoint from go service
  • profile runtime performance of a go app
  • aggregate metrics in memory for debugging
  • filter high-cardinality metric labels
  • dump recent metrics on a signal for debugging

When to choose

  • you need lightweight metrics instrumentation in a Go application
  • you want pluggable sinks including StatsD, statsite, and Prometheus
  • you need label filtering to control metric cardinality

When to avoid

  • you need a full observability suite with tracing and logging
  • you are not using Go
  • you need OpenTelemetry-compatible instrumentation
