Can they start with a number? threescale should be the last resort how to write3scale

no, that's why I chose threescale :D

Sigh :( I really don't like it. Do we have any alternatives? Like prefixing it with something? If no, then let's merge it.

Hmm we might want to prefix all our metrics with apicast. That would solve the issue.

I'll add the apicast prefix. I think it makes sense if we take into account that other apps can export metrics to the same Prometheus instance. Also, it's recommended in the Prometheus guidelines: https://prometheus.io/docs/practices/naming/
