+## [0.3.0] - 2026-01-02
+
+### Added
+- **Metrics System**: Comprehensive, production-ready metrics collection with <1% overhead
+  - `InMemoryMetrics`: Built-in thread-safe collector with zero external dependencies, perfect for REST API endpoints
+  - `OpenTelemetryMetrics`: Native OpenTelemetry exporter with histogram support for industry-standard observability
+  - `GCPCloudMonitoringMetrics`: Google Cloud Monitoring exporter with batched writes, automatic resource detection, and shared APScheduler integration
+  - `InstrumentedStorage`: Wrapper for automatic storage-level metrics tracking
+  - Tracks hits, misses, sets, deletes, hit rates, latency percentiles (p50/p95/p99), errors, memory usage, and background refresh operations
+  - Shared collector pattern: Single `MetricsCollector` instance can track multiple cached functions with per-function breakdown
+  - `NullMetrics` / `NULL_METRICS` for zero-overhead disabled metrics
+  - `MetricsCollector` protocol for custom implementations
+- **GCP Client Sharing**: `GCPCloudMonitoringMetrics` now accepts optional `client` parameter for connection pooling across multiple collectors
+- **Shared Scheduler Integration**: GCP exporter uses `SharedScheduler` instead of dedicated threads for background metric flushing
+- **Documentation**:
+  - `docs/metrics.md`: Comprehensive metrics guide (streamlined to 149 lines)
+  - `docs/custom-metrics-exporters.md`: Production-ready examples for Prometheus, StatsD, and Datadog
+  - `examples/metrics_example.py`: Complete metrics usage patterns
+  - `examples/shared_metrics_example.py`: Shared collector pattern demonstration
+  - `examples/gcp_client_sharing_example.py`: GCP client reuse example
+- **Testing**: 17 comprehensive integration tests covering all decorators (TTL, SWR, BG), async/sync modes, thread safety, and performance overhead validation
+
+### Changed
+- All decorators (`TTLCache`, `SWRCache`, `BGCache`) now accept optional `metrics` parameter
+- `InMemCache` now supports `record_memory_usage()` for tracking cache size
+- README updated with metrics quick start and API reference
+
+### Performance
+- Metrics system benchmarked at <1% overhead for `InMemoryMetrics`
+- <4% overhead for OpenTelemetry exporter
+- <3% overhead for GCP Cloud Monitoring with batched writes

+# Create metrics collector (no external dependencies!)
+metrics = InMemoryMetrics()

+- **InMemoryMetrics**: Zero dependencies, perfect for API queries
+- **NullMetrics**: Zero overhead when metrics disabled (default)

+**Exporters (optional):**
+- **OpenTelemetry**: OTLP, Jaeger, Zipkin, Prometheus
+- **GCP Cloud Monitoring**: Google Cloud Platform

+**Exposing Metrics:**
+
+To track cache operations in your custom storage, wrap it with `InstrumentedStorage`:
+
+```python
+from advanced_caching.storage import InstrumentedStorage
+from advanced_caching.metrics import InMemoryMetrics
+
+# Create metrics collector
+metrics = InMemoryMetrics()
+
+# Wrap your custom storage
+instrumented = InstrumentedStorage(
+    storage=MyCustomStorage(),
+    metrics=metrics,
+    cache_name="my_custom_cache"
+)
+
+# Use instrumented storage
+@TTLCache.cached("user:{id}", ttl=60, cache=instrumented)
+def get_user(id: int):
+    return {"id": id}
+
+# Query metrics
+stats = metrics.get_stats()
+# Includes: hits, misses, latency, errors, memory usage for "my_custom_cache"
+```
+
+`InstrumentedStorage` automatically tracks:
+- All cache operations (get, set, delete)
+- Operation latency (p50/p95/p99 percentiles)
+- Errors with exception types
+- Memory usage (if your storage supports it)
+
+See [Metrics Documentation](docs/metrics.md) for details.

+## Creating Your Own Exporter
+
+To create a custom exporter, implement the `MetricsCollector` protocol:
+
+```python
+from advanced_caching.metrics import MetricsCollector
+from typing import Any
+
+class MyCustomMetrics:
+    """Your custom metrics implementation."""
+
+    def record_hit(self, cache_name: str, key: str | None = None, metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None:
+        # Your implementation
+        pass
+
+    def record_miss(self, cache_name: str, key: str | None = None, metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None:
+        pass
+
+    def record_set(self, cache_name: str, key: str | None = None, value_size: int | None = None, metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None:
+        pass
+
+    def record_delete(self, cache_name: str, key: str | None = None, metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None:
+        pass
+
+    def record_latency(self, cache_name: str, operation: str, duration_seconds: float, metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None:

+    def record_background_refresh(self, cache_name: str, success: bool, duration_seconds: float | None = None, metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> None:
+        pass
+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+2. **Batch writes**: For HTTP-based exporters, batch multiple metrics into single requests
+3. **Async export**: Export metrics asynchronously to avoid blocking cache operations
+4. **Sample rates**: For very high traffic, consider sampling (e.g., record 1 in 10 operations)
+5. **Buffer metrics**: Collect metrics in memory and flush periodically
