Maintenance operations are optimized to minimize impact:
During Export:
- Read-only operations (no system impact)
- Batched queries (smooth processing)
- Safe to run during business hours
During Delete:
- Write operations (minor impact)
- Batched deletions (prevents locks)
- Recommendation: Run during off-peak hours for large deletes
Best Practices:
- Schedule large operations (1M+ records) overnight
- Small operations (< 100K) safe anytime
- Monitor server load before starting
- Use batch processing for datasets > 500K records
Performance Safeguards:
- Automatic memory management
- Extended timeouts for large operations
- Transaction-based deletions (rollback on error)
