I did the math
After running in prod for a day I was able to do some napkin math and determine that 1000 checks would end up using 32GB of database storage for a year. While that sounds crazy, it helped give insights on future scaling and data retention limits.
This is VERY early speculation that I don't need to do, but I always enjoy doing for some reason.
