The first beta of the upcoming Prometheus metrics library 1.0.0 is available!
It's a major breaking change, because we refactored the builder pattern to be aligned with Lombok conventions. Example of the new API:
Counter counter = Counter.builder()
.name("events_total")
.help("total number of events")
.labelNames("status")
.register();This replaces the verbose builders from the alpha releases:
// old API, no longer available
Counter counter = Counter.newBuilder()
.withName("events_total")
.withHelp("total number of events")
.withLabelNames("status")
.register();Moreover, we started publishing docs on https://prometheus.github.io/client_java/.
If you want to get started, the new docs have a quickstart guide: https://prometheus.github.io/client_java/getting-started/quickstart/.
The target is to finalize the docs and the 1.0.0 release before PromCon, which is 28/29 September 2023. We do not expect any more breaking changes, except for smaller things that come up while writing documentation.
