COST OPTIMIZATION Purge stale or unused assets 
Maintain a clean data landscape. 
🔄 Tasks
Do the following steps on a periodic (e.g. daily or weekly) basis.
- Calculate usage: Calculate the number of users of a given asset (table, dashboard, etc.) and determine when that asset was last used.
- Manage lifecycle: Use this combination of metadata to manage the lifecycle of the asset.
- After 30 days without usage and less than 5 users, flag the asset as “Stale”.
- After 60 days without usage and less than 10 users, archive the asset.
- After 120 days without usage, purge the archived asset.
The specific timelines may vary by business, type of data, and regulatory requirements, but the process can be similar. Reinstating the asset should reset the “clock.”
🎉 Outcome
Maintain a clean data landscape.
