Hello large-scalers!
TLDR: we opensource a tool to help reducing size of databases. See https://github.com/ovh/osarchiver/
Few months ago, we released a tool, name osarchiver, which we are using on our production environment (at OVH) to help reduce the size of our tables in mariadb (or mysql)
In fact, some tables are well know to grow very quickly.
We use it, for example, to clean the OpenStack mistral database from old tasks, actions and executions which are older than a year.
Another use case could be to archive some data in another table (e.g. with _archived as suffix) if they are 6 months old, and delete this data after 1 year.
The source code of this tool is available here: https://github.com/ovh/osarchiver/
We were wondering if some other users would be interested in using the tool, and maybe move it under the opendev governance?
Feel free to contact us and/or answer this thread.
Cheers,
-- Arnaud, Pierre-Samuel and OVH team
