What is the maximum number of indexed spans per host included in the APM pricing model?

The APM pricing model for Datadog indeed includes a limit on the number of indexed spans per host, which is set at 1 million. This parameter is important for users to understand as it directly impacts the volume of trace data that can be processed and indexed by Datadog's application performance monitoring.

By setting a specific limit, Datadog ensures that they can manage resources effectively while providing users with the ability to monitor and analyze their application performance. This encourages efficient usage of the APM service, allowing teams to prioritize the most critical spans and ensuring that the performance monitoring is both cost-effective and efficient.

Understanding this limit helps businesses plan their usage and potentially optimize their instrumentation or data collection strategies to work within this threshold, ensuring that they get the most relevant and useful insights from their performance data.
