How to handle high volume, high cardinality event streams
4 min
high volume and high cardinality meter events refer to scenarios where events occur in extremely high volume (e g , billions per day) and carry dimension values with a large number of unique entries example use case imagine a meter that measures monthly active users , with a dimension called billingid a single customerid might have over 100 million unique billingid values per day this is a classic case of high volume, high cardinality to support this kind of metering, amberflo offers two approaches depending on requirements and budget 1\ realtime high volume, high cardinality meter pipeline this approach supports real time time series aggregation based on dimension values, even under high cardinality and high volume conditions designed for real time usage analytics and aggregation requires significant backend resource allocation pricing tier $4,500 per 1 billion events under the high cardinality meter events plan 2\ high throughput, unique meter pipeline this alternative is optimized for cost effectiveness while still supporting high throughput metering designed to handle massive event volumes at lower cost uses a new meter processing pipeline with architectural tradeoffs compared to the real time pipeline best suited for customers prioritizing throughput and budget over real time data needs 📘 faqs and how tos docid\ bq14rede1rrwst00mbikx see related from metering and event ingestion how to measure a multi step process using a duration meter docid\ jejnqgjekdtlycfyxzsjj how to track seat based objects in amberflo docid\ k8g0vmh6adgukb3dmezay how to meter the number of active seats or users for a customer docid\ vyzt7z7cdkrhjyl avl68 how to understand dimensions in amberflo docid\ ai7gyga p lhj8fwzca f how to verify the accuracy of meter data docid\ ne5rit1fjkfpatdbiej s how to track and bill for "high watermark" usage docid\ g l0lgdqyvfnccrsv2xbr how to handle erroneous or incorrect meters sent to amberflo docid\ awzcv2cw6swss2ffmcl58 how to find the meter id for retrieving and deleting a specific meter docid\ ty1vub6lz6u3fo nbfgb6 how to delete meters that are no longer in use docid\ x x7d16c6dwqrz zfdyvk
