Metrics Without Limits
summary
Product announces a new model that ingests all metric streams but charges only for what you keep and query, with 10¢ per 100 metrics ingest pricing, 15 months at 1s retained resolution, and aggregation done in-app so no agent or code changes are required. Cardinality control happens by dropping or re-adding tags dynamically — demo removes host and customer_id to reduce time series and rehydrates user_id during an incident — useful if you need deep dives sometimes but not always.
