Learning Goal

At the end of this lecture, students are expected to know that there are different classes of problem (e.g. things that go "up only", things that go "up and down" and things that go in a distributon) and the different primitives:

  1. Counter
  2. Gauge
  3. Histogram

As well as additional data types

  1. Async Counter
  2. UpDownCounter
  3. Async UpDownCounter

Non Goals

There is a non-goal of implementing, querying and visualizing these data types.
