AQL Metrics

Metrics are the central part of AQL's design. The core objectives of AQL is to provide you with abilities to freely define, manipulate and reuse metrics with ease. This documentation section will provide you with necessary knowledge to define and use AQL metrics effectively.

Metric-centric vs Table-centric

Moving from table-centric thinking to metrics-centric thinking is like moving from Assembly to C, or from C to Python. You’re going up the abstraction levels, getting closer to the business logic, and leaving the technical semantics behind.
