I don't think that's the problem for metrics. Exometer is the go-to Erlang library, but its dependencies are a nightmare (e.g. https://github.com/Feuerlabs/exometer/issues/154 or https://github.com/Feuerlabs/exometer#dependency-management), it's essentially unmaintained, and integrating it with Ecto or Phoenix is roll-your-own. I think there is very much a need for a more modern library that plays nicely with Hex.

Building a solid standalone monitoring/metrics package is apparently next up on the "todo list" for Chris McCord (creator of Phoenix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfFpIjFOL-I


We've had success with Elixometer, though the dependency pinning was a pain. All but two are fully on Hex now.

Thanks, I might have to use this soon :)
