amberflo was built for scale and performance our platform processes over a quarter trillion meter events every month, supporting some of the most demanding and complex it environments in the world to make ingestion as seamless as possible, we offer multiple options to suit different architectures and preferences whether you operate in the cloud, on premises, or both, amberflo gives you flexible tools to get your usage data into the platform and turn it into cost insights most commonly used ingestion methods amberflo sdks the amberflo sdks offer a simple and efficient way to emit meter events directly from your applications or services available in multiple languages, the sdks handle authentication and retries automatically this method is ideal for engineering teams who want precision and control over what gets metered and when, especially in microservice or event driven architectures docid\ ad8vt2hl4lsbsma ipdru aws s3 you can send meter events to amberflo by dropping structured files into an s3 bucket this is a great option for batch ingestion or when working with tools that generate logs or usage reports amberflo supports formats such as json, csv, and focus, making it easy to ingest data from a wide variety of systems and exports this can be a bucket you host or amberflo can provide one docid\ esfs1yrmivjxzlf8wf ea prometheus if you’re already using prometheus for system monitoring, you can extend it to power your metering by simply using it's native remote write functionality this option works well for environments like kubernetes and on prem data centers where prometheus is already in use docid\ tlbijmzern8umnc2jwopp apis amberflo provides a flexible and reliable rest api that allows you to send meter events directly this method is ideal for custom integrations, legacy systems, or scripts that generate usage data you can send events in real time or batch additional ingestion methods amberflo also supports a number of other ingestion methods to fit specialized needs docid 4k1szfvqe2gjzmxyhmd8j docid\ rzmbsftrp2gw3lyugxhb docid xfa ouzdw2qgzujbfzhx docid\ vatr h8kmcxuq7dod0wxi docid 8oig3ekn7u6c50eqcisgt docid\ rqxcvknoypso0ha9aynp7 docid\ x96orlf5 pzl6dh eb4vk docid 0gwkzeggcqnf7 ej7txyy choose the approach that best fits your environment and start capturing the data you need to power cost visibility and accountability
