Hi all, I wrote this up after reading a post from Cloudflare about running Prometheus at scale. They mentioned a couple of challenges related to the full life cycle of metrics, which perfectly fit the problems that motivated us to start working on the Autometrics project.

I tried to lay out the case for why I think function-level metrics are so useful here. I’d especially love to hear what folks think who have experience setting up observability & metrics. Do the ideas resonate? Still skeptical?
