• Run data should be as short lived as possible
  • I.e. executions and child data should be evicted from the system on a short regular schedule
    • Ex: between 1 and 30 days. Ideally evicted after shipping to logging store
  • The intent here is for operators to house logs and other such data in a more robust logging store
