litestar-metrics

Instrument Litestar apps for OpenTelemetry metrics by emitting latency, throughput, and error rate data through Prometheus-compatible exporters, applying stable metric naming and low-cardinality labels across API endpoints and background tasks.

Track request latency and error rates in Litestar by instrumenting request-level metrics with stable labels, capturing count and duration data to enable real-time dashboards and alerts for development, staging, and production environments.

Add custom business counters at service boundaries in Litestar to capture domain-specific metrics, validating cardinality and collection overhead before production rollout to maintain SLO visibility.

Correlate Litestar metrics with logs and traces through shared dimensions, enabling consistent observability across service boundaries for comprehensive service-level monitoring and SLO tracking.

Litestar observability instrumentation does not handle log formatting or exception contract design, focusing solely on emitting OpenTelemetry metrics for latency, throughput, error rates, and custom business counters.

Litestar metrics instrumentation works with OpenTelemetry pipelines, satisfying stable metric naming and low-cardinality labels while supporting Prometheus-compatible export pipelines for real-time dashboards and alerts.
