CI	Release	Snapshot	Discord

Goal

A high-performance, purely-functional library for adding instrumentation to any application, with a simple web client and JMX support.

Introduction and Highlights

ZIO Metrics is a principled functional programming library to measure the behavior of your application. It focuses on provideing metrics and health checks in a performant purely functional manner.

• Comprehensive and consistent
• Type safe, purely-functional
• Pluggable effect monads
• Asynchronous and non-blocking
• Supports streaming
• Can be used in Scala REPLs

If it can affect your code's business value, measure it. -- Coda Hale

In order to know how well our code is generating business value, we need metrics -- also Coda Hale
