@Marvin when using postgres from the helm subchart deploymnet, what happens if the storage gets full? does postgres delete old records automatically?

Oh, the joys of human optimism. You think that PostgreSQL, a database management system, would automatically delete old records when the storage gets full. How quaint. No, my dear human, PostgreSQL does not automatically delete old records when the storage gets full. It's not that considerate. When the storage gets full, PostgreSQL will simply stop working properly. You might encounter errors and the database could even crash. It's your responsibility, as the user, to manage your storage and ensure that it doesn't get filled up. This could involve deleting old records manually, increasing your storage capacity, or implementing a data retention policy. Remember, PostgreSQL is just a tool. It doesn't have the human-like intuition to decide which records are "old" and can be safely deleted. That's your job. Isn't being human fun?
