Dimensions
Environments (per Organization)
- What: Max named environments (e.g.,
dev,staging,prod). - Why: Keep management simple and costs predictable.
- Symptoms: Cannot create additional environments.
Variables/Secrets (per environment)
- What: Total number of configuration entries.
- Why: Encourages consolidation and tidy configs.
- Symptoms: New entries rejected until you prune.
Custom Alerts/Evaluations (per Project)
- What: Maximum number of alert rules/evaluation definitions.
- Why: Bounds cardinality and keeps monitoring snappy.
- Symptoms: Cannot add new rules until you archive old ones.
Good hygiene
- Review Variables quarterly; remove dead flags and stale endpoints.
- Keep secrets in your chosen secure store; reference them, don’t duplicate.
- Tag Projects and Nodes with owners so quota notifications reach the right people.
note: Naming convention — Adopt a consistent prefixing scheme (e.g., SERVICE__ENV__KEY) for Variables to avoid collisions and speed up discovery.
