Managing database growth is one of the most overlooked challenges in backend infrastructure. Everything works smoothly in the beginning, but over time collections like auditlogs grow rapidly. Every login attempt, API request, status change, and system activity gets stored continuousy.
Eventually, the database becomes larger, queries become slower, storage usage increases, and backups take longer to complete.
This is exactly the kind of operational issue many production systems face.
In the prod environment, the goal was simple:
Automatically clean old auditlogs
