# Destination reached!

Congratulations on completing this journey! Job well done!

We hope you’ve enjoyed traveling with us as you:

- Reduced metric cardinality while preserving dashboard and alert fidelity
- Reviewed and safely applied optimization recommendations
- Created custom aggregation, drop rules, and exemptions to protect critical series
- Segmented metrics for team and service ownership
- Enabled auto-apply for continuous, hands-off optimization
- Monitored results to validate cost and performance impact

## Where to next?

Now that your metrics are optimized, you can:

- Reduce noisy log data and manage ingestion volume with **Adaptive Logs**
- Sample and prioritize trace data efficiently using **Adaptive Traces**
- Monitor long-term savings and usage trends: **Understand metrics usage and cost**
- Automate metric optimization at scale via Terraform or API workflows
