quicmetrics

quicmetrics

Receive and aggregate fleeting metrics (from FaaS).

This proof of concept uses:

• QUIC without http3 as a transport protocol
• statsd string format for metrics

In the client/main.go example, we send multiple metric counter, to confirm it is summed in the prometheus endpoint output.

Library used:

• quic-go, a QUIC implementation in pure go
• go-dogstatsd-parser, a standalone parser for DogStatsD metrics protocol
• prometheus/client_golang, the Go client library for prometheus
• opentelemetry-go, the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry

Getting started

Launch the server

go run main.go

Send sample metrics

go run client/main.go
