S3 Export

S3 export means automatically dumping event data into Amazon's S3 cloud storage as a raw repository, usually for processing or long-term retention outside the tool.

S3 export is a common pattern in modern data architecture: S3 plays the role of a cheap, large “data lake” where raw events settle so any system can later read and process them. Its advantage is flexibility and separating storage from processing. But for the Iranian market it has two fundamental obstacles. First, S3 is Amazon infrastructure outside the country, so exporting to it is a cross-border data transfer that is simply not an option for businesses that must keep data inside the border, and access to Amazon's services is restricted from Iran. Second, like any raw export, the responsibility for modeling and protecting the data after it leaves falls on your team. S3 export is designed for global cloud architectures, not for in-country retention.
