We could use [[ https://github.com/prometheus/client_python | prometheus_client ]] (packaged in debian) to generate and export Prometheus metrics for swh-web.

[[ https://github.com/korfuri/django-prometheus | django-prometheus ]] seems also quite interesting to monitor the web application internals (but it is not packaged in debian).

prometheus_client looks quite low-level to me. We already have statsd for this kind of purpose, which does not imply having to deal with one more dedicated http server or so...

Yes I agree, I ended up using statsd in D2419 after all. django-prometheus could be interesting to use but it maybe redundant with the upcoming sentry integration in swh-web.

After second thoughts, relying on the use of prometheus_client seems a better approach for the swh-web case so D2419 is abandoned in favor of D2432.
