Because it uses UDP, clients (for example, web applications) can ship metrics to it very fast with little to no overhead. +This means that a user can capture multiple metrics for every request to a web application, even at a rate of thousands of requests per second. +Request-level metrics are aggregated over a flush interval (default 10 seconds) and pushed to an upstream metrics service.
