Data retention and storage

Events land in a fast hot store and are periodically rotated into compressed segments. Each project has a storage cap. When the cap is reached, the oldest segments are removed first, so your most recent data always fits.

Pro

There is no time-based retention. Your data stays as long as the subscription is active. Deleting a project deletes its data immediately.

Each project has 512 MB of compressed storage. That holds over 1 million events even with the most conservative assumptions. Typical error traffic, where the same errors repeat with small variations, compresses much better, so real capacity is usually several million or more.

Trial

The trial has every feature, with a 6 MB storage cap. Thanks to compression that is enough to evaluate with real traffic. Trial project data is deleted 60 days after the trial ends. Upgrading before then keeps your data.

Export

Your data is never locked in. Everything is queryable over the read-only SQL API and the CLI, so you can pull it out at any time:

vant query "SELECT * FROM vantmetry_logs LIMIT 10"

See the CLI commands reference for the full query syntax and output options.
