Fiberplane recently announced Autometrics, which is a powerful set of open source libraries that enables developers to take advantage of an underutilized but powerful tool in the observability stack – metrics. Metrics are underused today relative to their power and cost effectiveness because of a developer experience problem. To make use of metrics, developers need to think about what to track, how to track it, how to query the data, and how to operationalize the data with alerts and dashboards. Fiberplane’s new Autometrics addresses many of these developer experience problems, making it easier to understand how code is performing in production.
