Application Metric or Log? Which should you use?

Sentry offers both "Application Metrics" and "Logs", but both can seem pretty similar. Both logs and metrics are just a collection of attributes attached to a name in your code. Both can be counted, visualized, or alerted on. Both are not sampled by default. So how do you know which to choose? In this video, we'll briefly go over a few examples of when to use logs and when to use metrics. TLDR; Logs are designed for debugging and may be temporary or likely to change when problems arise. Metrics on the other hand are stable, purposely placed events used to track user behaviors.

AI cost per customer: measure it and protect your margins

AI cost per customer is each customer's attributed share of your AI spend: API tokens, inference infrastructure, and per-seat AI tools, measured against that customer's revenue. It matters because AI usage is wildly uneven across customers, so healthy blended margins can hide individual customers you serve at a loss. It's cost to serve, not acquisition cost. Cost per customer is the metric CloudZero was built around.

Shipped: Log and track Insights from your AI assistant

Insights are how your team tracks interesting observations, analysis and optimization work in CloudZero. Each one records the opportunity and its status, so the work gets sized, assigned, and closed out. Teams now do a lot of this work in an AI assistant. For example, you can ask Claude which instances sat idle last month, and it will tell you. But if you have to switch to CloudZero and fill out a form to log that finding, some findings won’t get logged.
