Clean up your data

• Reduced costs on data storage

Features for cleaning up your data

Popularity

• Popularity metadata is another important metric for understanding what could be deprecated.

• Sort the Catalog by Popularity to find unused resources with minimal views or queries.

Automations

• Create an Automation to automatically tag resources as Stale if they haven't been queried or edited recently.

• Then just filter the Catalog for Stale sources to bulk deprecate them!

• 

All of the above practices can also be done through the Secoda API. Reach out to support in the Secoda Community Slack if you have questions about how to utilize the API for your data deprecation goals.
