Cloud Cold Storage Cartoon: What Exactly Are We Archiving?

The Scenario: This cloud cold storage cartoon features a junior architect proudly presenting a "Temperature Zone" strategy to a confused executive.

Despite the company only being three months old, the engineer has already designated 50% of their data for "Cold Storage."

The punchline—"What exactly are we archiving?"—perfectly skewers the obsession with enterprise-grade data lifecycle management in environments that don't yet have a lifecycle.

The Observation: At Kaapi with Ravi, we identify "The Instant Artifact Syndrome." This cartoon mocks how teams implement cloud cold storage as a reflex rather than a requirement.

In the tech landscape, "optimizing for cost" often leads to the hilarious situation of paying to store data that hasn't even had time to get warm yet.

It’s a sharp critique of startups that build for a ten-year legacy before they’ve survived their first quarter.

In a 3-month startup, "Cold Storage" is just a fancy way of saying you’re paying to preserve the delete key’s mistakes.
