Feature / Question: HTTP Client and API metrics

[Ben Sless]

Is there a protocol or recommendation for metrics for the API client?
Things I'd like to be able to measure:

• Success rate and latency for different ops and endpoints
• HTTP client metrics
• retries

Some of this can be done by wrapping invoke or providing my own client, but regarding things like retries I'm not sure I can think of a clean way to do it.
Still, seems like it would be better if it was handled by a protocol

Thanks

You can provide a custom retry retriable? and backoff functions without wrapping invoke. See https://cognitect-labs.github.io/aws-api/cognitect.aws.client.api-api.html#cognitect.aws.client.api/client

As for a protocol, it'll be a while before we introduce anything like that given the backlog, priorities, and limited resources, but I'll certainly leave this open for consideration in the long run.
