While I was developing my Crispin project, I ended up needing to create a bunch of implementations of a single interface, and then use all those implementations at once (for metrics logging). The interface looks like so: public interface IStatisticsWriter { Task WriteCount(string format, params object[] parameters); } And we have a few implementations already: LoggingStatisticsWriter - writes to an ILogger instance StatsdStatisticsWriter - pushes metrics to StatsD InternalStatisticsWriter - aggregates metrics for exposing via Crispin’s api To make all of these be used together, I created a fourth implementation, called CompositeStatisticsWriter (a name I made up, but apparently matches the Gang of Four definition of a composite!...
