Micrometer vs metricbeats

Looking to send metrics to elastic search. I have a number of docker services running in Springboot. What is the difference between using micrometer and metric beats?

There's a nice example in the official observability documentation on how both Metricbeat and Micrometer can be complimentary.

Micrometer provides metrics in a vendor-neutral way. Those metrics are then pulled by Prometheus and Metricbeat (with the prometheus module) is used to forward those metrics to Elasticsearch.

It is also possible to remove Prometheus from the picture and simply configure Micrometer to push metrics directly to Elasticsearch.
