Fast range queries

Ask for any window and Crota returns points at a sensible resolution without scanning everything.

Compact & rolled up

Recent data stays high-resolution; older data is downsampled automatically to save space.

Push over HTTP

Send metrics with a plain POST — no agent to install, no exotic wire format to learn.
