Sounds cool! Do you keep all data forever in the same table? I assume you need long retention, so do you keep everything in the same table for years or do you keep a master table for, let's say, the current year and then "rotate" (like logrotate) previous stuff to other tables?

Even with indices, a table with, let's say, a billion rows can be annoying to traverse.

I wasn’t involved in the day to day operations of the system, but it had records going back to the 90s at least I think. I think data related to non accepted offers were deleted fairly quickly (since they didn’t end up being actual customers), but outside of that I think everything was kept more or less indefinitely.
