hi, i wrote this thing!

if you’re wondering why it’s weird, half-finished, or under-documented, it’s because i wrote it in a couple hours to scratch my own itch, and really didn’t expect to be at the top of hackernews today! if this is something that other people are actually interested in using, i’d be happy to clean it up a bit and add some of the missing stuff…

Thanks for doing that! I think there is demand for minimal metrics services for Prometheus for very constrained or expensive environments.

I am currently looking into getting container-level metrics into Fargate containers.

I think the best way forward, if you want to keep working on it would be to provide good documentation on how to use it. As it reads from the README now, you need to set the amount of labels you will have before compiling? I am not a Rust user so basically have no idea how to test that thing.

For a feature request, I think histograms would be best.

Thanks again and good luck!
