A C++ client library implementing the Prometheus data model for collecting and exposing metrics from C++ services. It provides counters, gauges, histograms, and an HTTP exposer so Prometheus can scrape metrics.

Use cases

• instrument a c++ service with prometheus metrics
• expose counters and histograms for scraping
• add metrics-driven development to c++ applications
• monitor native application performance with prometheus
• embed a metrics http endpoint in a c++ server

When to choose

• you need native C++ Prometheus instrumentation without shelling out to other processes
• you want low-overhead counters and gauges in high-performance C++ services
• you need an embedded HTTP metrics endpoint for Prometheus scraping

When to avoid

• you need a full monitoring stack rather than a client library
• your service is not C++ or lacks modern C++ toolchain support
• you need push-gateway-heavy workflows out of the box
