 # Spectator-cpp
 
-Simple library for instructing code to record dimensional time series.  It sends all activity to
-a [spectatord](https://github.com/Netflix-Skunkworks/spectatord) sidecar.

-## Description
-
-This implements a basic [Spectator](https://github.com/Netflix/spectator) library for instrumenting
-C++ applications, sending all metric activity to a sidecar. 
+This implements a basic [Spectator](https://github.com/Netflix/spectator) library for instrumenting Go applications. It
+consists of a thin client designed to send metrics through [spectatord](https://github.com/Netflix-Skunkworks/spectatord).

 ## High-Volume Publishing
 
-By default, the library sends every meter change to the spectatord sidecar immediately. This involves a blocking `send` call and underlying system calls, and may not be the most efficient way to publish metrics in high-volume use cases.
-For this purpose a simple buffering functionality in `Publisher` is implemented, and it can be turned on by passing a buffer size to the `spectator::Config` constructor. It is important to note that, until this buffer fills up, the `Publisher` will not send nay meters to the sidecar. Therefore, if your application doesn't emit meters at a high rate, you should either keep the buffer very small, or do not configure a buffer size at all, which will fall back to the "publish immediately" mode of operation.
