Elasticsearch recommends each shard to be under 65GB (AWS recommends them to be under 50GB), so we could create time based indices where each index holds somewhere between 16–20GB of data, giving some buffer for data growth. For every asset indexing request, we look at the cache to determine the corresponding time bucket index for the asset.

Without infrastructure-level support, every team ends up building their own point solution to varying degrees of success.

This deletes the underlying data as well (e.g.
