Tiered Storage remains a major win for StreamHub, but we now treat retention and segment management changes as production risk operations. We reduced risk by generating fewer, larger segment files where appropriate, staggering operational changes, and watching remote copy metrics closely during any retention adjustment. We size local disks with enough emergency buffer to survive temporary S3 offload delays and configure sufficient tiered storage offload threads to handle peak traffic spikes. The

We reduced risk by generating fewer, larger segment files where appropriate, staggering operational changes, and watching remote copy metrics closely during any retention adjustment. We size local disks with enough emergency buffer to survive temporary S3 offload delays and configure sufficient tiered storage offload threads to handle peak traffic spikes. The principle is that remote storage should reduce steady state cost, while local storage should provide operational shock absorption.
