Cleanup: Automated data retention system #1183

Description

@kartpop

Is your feature request related to a problem?
We need a system to automatically clean up query and response data in the LLM calls table after a specified retention period. Without this, the database may become cluttered and inefficient.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Implement a cron job to purge query/response data after a configurable retention window (default 1 week).
  • Handle one-time backlog separately from regular cron operations.
  • Write a cleanup strategy document detailing cron design, batching, and backlog handling.
  • Conduct a staging load test by duplicating ~20k LLM call rows ~5x in the copy_dev database to measure cleanup time. Do not use production data.
  • Ensure S3 cleanup is managed separately and not included in the DB cron/migration code.
Original issue

Context

query + response data in the LLM calls table will be cleaned up via a cron job after a configurable retention window (starting with 1 week).

A step-by-step cleanup strategy doc is to be written (cron design, batching, one-time backlog handling).

Scope / Acceptance criteria

  • Cron job to purge query/response data in the LLM calls table after a configurable retention window (default 1 week).
  • Handle one-time backlog separately from steady-state cron.
  • Write cleanup strategy doc (cron design, batching, backlog).
  • Staging load test: reuse the empty copy_dev database, duplicate staging's ~20k LLM call rows ~5x to reach ~1 lakh, and measure cleanup time. Do NOT pull prod data.
  • Keep S3 cleanup separate — do not bundle S3 deletion into the DB cron/migration code.

Notes

  • Guardrails input/output data is retained separately (anonymized, tagged as product enhancement) and is NOT part of this cleanup.
