You can now use the `compute_handoff` metric in the [Historical Stats API](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/reference/api/metrics-stats/historical-stats/) and the [Real-Time Analytics API](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/reference/api/metrics-stats/realtime/) to analyze the frequency with which Compute hands off incoming requests to the Fanout proxy or WebSocket proxy.
