Telemetry is a mechanism used to capture metrics in an application, to later store the data locally or upload it to a server for statistical analysis.

/// data is stored and processed in a dedicated background thread and
/// the memory is recollected only when the service is dropped.

/// The service will panic if an attempt is made to register two
/// histograms with the same key.
