Sandbox Clean Up Automation
Automated Redshift sandbox schema management system that scans monthly for unused and production-ready tables. The solution analyzes table usage patterns: drops tables unused for 30+ days, preserves recently created tables, and flags actively-used tables (30+ days old with regular scans) for production migration. Integrated with team web application featuring creator-based filtering, automated email notifications for pending drops, and workflow automation for production table deployment including DataShare enablement and backfilling. Eliminated manual cleanup work, freed cluster space, and ensured regulatory compliance with OD3 and PD2 retention requirements.
Impact
Eliminated manual cleanup work for Data Engineering team, significantly reduced cluster storage costs, maintained regulatory compliance, and enabled team to focus on high-value work including data pipeline creation, operational excellence, and process improvement initiatives
