Summary
WorkIt's agent framework enforces zero-network core, keeping local runs cost-free, while opt-in telemetry via attachTelemetryExporter uses sampling (errors_and_slow default) and circuit breakers to slash CloudWatch Logs costs by 20x, preventing unbounded event volume from becoming a major expense.
