Nothing breaks the day data is stored. Problems start much later when nobody remembers why it exists. Features change teams rotate products evolve but old data stays exactly where it is. Permissions that once made sense quietly continue. Cleanup feels risky so it never happens. Over time this forgotten data shapes system behavior in ways no one planned. Reads slow down retries increase costs rise and users feel friction without clear errors. Walrus is built around stopping this slow decay early. It treats data lifetime as a real responsibility not an afterthought. When ownership is clear and expiry is defined storage stops surprising teams. Systems stay predictable because history is controlled instead of ignored. Products that last are not the fastest on day one. They are the ones that manage yesterday clearly so tomorrow stays calm. That is the thinking Walrus brings to storage from the start.
