Atlas Online Archive is designed to help you manage data storage costs by archiving infrequently accessed data to lower-cost storage. It integrates seamlessly with Atlas, allowing you to define custom rules based on data access patterns and retention requirements. The archived data is queryable, ensuring that it remains accessible without full restoration. This service is particularly useful for long-term data storage, compliance, and historical analysis, providing a scalable solution (though one that likely sacrifices some performance).
