Got a panic in one of dependencies when 2 routines trying to write metrics: https://github.com/VividCortex/gohistogram/blob/master/numerichistogram.go#L124 As for author comment it is not goroutine safe: https://github.com/VividCortex/gohistogram/issues/21 One of the options is to add mutex to generic histogram here: https://github.com/go-kit/kit/blob/master/metrics/generic/generic.go#L121
