### Feature count bucketing

The `feature_count` label on `feast_feature_server_request_latency_seconds`
is bucketed rather than exact, to keep cardinality bounded for feature
services that vary widely in how many features they request. By default,
counts are grouped into `0`, `1-10`, `11-50`, `51-200`, and `201+`.

Customize the bucket boundaries with `feature_count_bins` in the `metrics`
block:

```yaml
feature_server:
type: local
metrics:
enabled: true
feature_count_bins: [5, 20]
```

This produces the labels `0`, `1-5`, `6-20`, and `21+`. Note that this only
affects the Prometheus label; the `feature_count` field in audit logs (see
below) always reports the exact count.

### Per-ODFV transformation metrics
