How does Dynatrace handle data retention and storage optimization at scale?

• Horizontally: Add more ActiveGates or deploy multiple extensions.
• Vertically: Increase CPU/memory on existing ActiveGates.
• Cloud-native: Dynatrace SaaS backend automatically scales ingestion, storage, and compute to handle growth without manual intervention.
