Introducing: Metrics

[marcuskohlberg]

Having easy access to metrics is a critical part of application observability. Encore now automatically provides metrics for your application for everyday use cases such as Request rate, Memory usage, and Goroutines. These work in all environments and are accessible from the Encore Platform.

By default, Encore also exports metrics data to your cloud provider's built-in monitoring service, so you can easily use your preferred observability tools.

Encore also makes it simple to define custom metrics for your application, which automatically display in the built-in metrics dashboard. Learn more in the docs.

Grafana integration

Many teams already use observability tools like Grafana, so we've added an easy integration to help you get all your metrics in one place. (For fans of Datadog, an integration is coming very soon!)

Other improvements

There's a huge list of improvements since the last release announcement. Here are some highlights:

• Added support for CORS Expose-Headers
• Trace Logs now display as JSON
• Local Dev Dash alerts if the app is not running
• And many smaller improvements and bug-fixes

Full Changelog: v1.13.0...v1.14.4
