Dynamically control your custom metrics volume with Metrics without Limits™

Metrics without Limits™ is a feature by Datadog that allows users to cost-effectively collect, process, and archive custom metrics. It decouples metric ingestion from indexing, enabling users to dynamically specify which tags across metric names they want to index for analytics and troubleshooting. This helps maintain custom metrics volume within an observability budget without needing code-level changes or setting up separate proxy filters. Users can easily configure tags for individual metrics or groups of metrics, adjust their custom metric volumes by defining which metric aggregations they want to query, and retrieve archived data at any point for further analytics.
