+== Kafka Metrics
+
+Kafka binder module exposes the following metrics:
+
+`spring.cloud.stream.binder.kafka.someGroup.someTopic.lag`  - this metric indicates how many messages have not been yet consumed from given binder's topic by given consumer group.
+For example if the value of the metric `spring.cloud.stream.binder.kafka.myGroup.myTopic.lag` is `1000`, then consumer group `myGroup` has `1000` messages to waiting to be consumed from topic `myTopic`.
+This metric is particularly useful to provide auto-scaling feedback to PaaS platform of your choice.
