Patrick Oyarzun, a principal engineer at Grafana Labs, Mauro Stettler, a software engineer at Grafana Labs, and Oren Lion, head of Productivity Engineering at TeleTracking, dive into the metrics cardinality crisis. They explore how Adaptive Metrics evolved from a hackathon project to a key tool for efficient metrics management. The trio discusses the complexities of handling high cardinality in cloud-native environments, balancing cost and accessibility, and optimizing healthcare operations through tailored metrics.
