Infinite Cardinality Metrics: Custom metrics built for modern systems

Datadog has launched "Infinite Cardinality Metrics," a new feature designed to allow engineers to capture highly dimensional data without the unpredictable costs typically associated with high cardinality. By decoupling pricing from unique tag combinations and aligning it instead with metric names and data volume, this solution enables deeper, more contextual observability for complex modern workloads like AI and cloud-native systems.
