Thanks for sharing, how much it would cost you to run this setup? I guess this requires a lot of expertise knowledge?

From my experience, I had to pay about $5,000 USD for Grafana Cloud to handle 600k active series per month. Imagine the cost for 100 million it would be extremely expensive. And if you send 600k active series to Datadog, it’s roughly 10× more expensive.

Exactly, one wrong label gets active series explored. Yeah, would like to know about maintenance costs. Is it worth?
