summary

Riot replaces scattered homegrown collectors with Vector and cluster agents, injects telemetry via a dynamic admission webhook, and enforces sampling and allow‑lists to cut noise. The pipeline runs across 100+ Kubernetes clusters in 30+ regions, samples some logs at ~10%, and dynamically adjusts trace sampling by service. Results: logs drop from petabytes to ~350 TB/month, synthetics fall from 3M to 300k, custom ingestion drops ~90%, with ~30% vendor cost reduction and $5M projected cost avoidance.
