In this recipe, you will learn how to do this using the Eclipse MicroProfile Metrics API. You will see the default metrics generated by the framework and how to generate metrics at the application level (metrics created by you), so you can monitor what makes sense for your business.

As MicroProfile is a specification and a standard, it has implementations. In this recipe, we will use Helidon MP (https://helidon.io/).
