A Datadog metrics cardinality calculator - not just another female rapper w/ a fast flow :)

description

  • Run Datadog Synthetics Tests vs. 3rd-party crystal-lang API running on Heroku
  • Pass Datadog credentials in the standard way via HTTP headers
  • Delegate all the heavy lifting (Datadog API calls) to said 3rd-party API
  • Crystal API responds w/ concatenated Datadog API responses (acts as a smart proxy)
  • Bonus : Crystal API also ships responses as logs to Datadog to allow in-app creation of custom metrics from logs
  • Benefit : This makes it possible to track & alert on Datadog metrics spikes & cardinality spikes in realtime

usage
