- Allow a higher degree of observability. - Count event occurences, such as usage of endpoints, or which functions are called the most - Different from Jaeger / Tracing, as this does not focus on spans - only events. - We can re-use `trace` events, though, and count these. Interesting packages - [autometrics](https://github.com/fiberplane/autometrics-rs).
