What is Metrics?
Metrics are numerical measurements sampled or aggregated over time to describe system behaviour and health. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.
Counters, gauges and histograms become useful when labelled consistently and interpreted with service objectives and known failure modes. Excessive label cardinality, weak ownership and alerts without actionable thresholds can make a metrics platform expensive and noisy.
Measure trends, capacity and service health quantitatively over time.
