-# Overview
-This is the [Prometheus](http://www.prometheus.io) telemetric
-instrumentation client [Go](http://golang.org) client library.  It
-enable authors to define process-space metrics for their servers and
-expose them through a web service interface for extraction,
-aggregation, and a whole slew of other post processing techniques.
