Great question! If you’re looking to optimize storage costs while managing large volumes of unused data, an online archiving approach is often more cost-effective than moving data to a cold cluster.
- Cost Efficiency – Online archiving automatically moves infrequently accessed data to lower-cost storage, reducing primary database costs while maintaining accessibility.
- Batch Archiving First? – Yes, running an initial archival process can help clean up existing useless data before setting up scheduled archiving for ongoing management.
- Storage Type – The storage backend varies, but many online archiving solutions integrate with S3 and Glacier for cost optimization, allowing you to choose between instant or deep archival storage.
