Metrics

Monitor application behavior with aggregated time-series data.

Metrics summarize application and platform behavior over time on the project Observability page.

Default charts

Typical charts include:

Traffic

  • Edge Requests: request volume and error rates
  • Edge Bandwidth: incoming and outgoing bytes

Functions

  • Function Starts: cold versus warm starts
  • Functions: invocation and error series
  • Compute: total compute duration

Runtime Cache

  • Runtime Cache operations when the project uses runtime cache APIs

Time windows and buckets

Select a preset window such as 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or 7 days.

Aggregation buckets are typically:

  • 5 minutes for windows up to 24 hours
  • 60 minutes for longer windows

Custom queries

Open Observability → Query (or the project query view) to build charts from supported metrics such as:

  • Edge requests
  • Duration
  • Bandwidth / FDT fields
  • Route cache and route bandwidth
  • Function metrics

Supported aggregations include count, sum, min, max, average, and percentiles such as p75, p90, p95, and p99 where the metric allows them.

Custom query metrics are platform-defined fields and aggregations, not arbitrary customer-defined metric names emitted from application code.

How to use metrics after a deploy

  1. Open Observability for the hours after the release.
  2. Compare error rate, latency/compute, cold starts, and bandwidth to the prior window.
  3. When a series moves, open Logs for the same time range.
  4. Inspect request detail and Trace for examples.

Deployment overlay markers on charts are not a separate product feature today. Use time range and deployment ID filters instead.
