Operations

Keep a dataset healthy throughout application startup, normal use, configuration changes, and shutdown.

Before deploying

Review configuration, data retention, and deployment. Use observability to explain startup work and report behavior.

Organize engine and host settings so their effects are easy to reason about.

Manage historical coverage and the removal of stored analytics data.

Run an analytics engine as part of an application you can operate reliably.

Explain startup cost, ingestion health, and report latency using engine evidence.

Use configuration reference for settings, performance for cost tradeoffs, and HTTP contracts for host integration.
