Some research projects of data storage that can last for thousands or even millions of years. By deployed I mean manufactured
Yes. It’s called a stone tablet.

There’s nothing that can stick around 1 million years.
The 3rd installment of the 3 body problem touches on this subject.

Explain
Even things that seem like they won’t ever change don’t last. Erosion, tectonic plate movement, natural decay of atoms.
Even giant letters written inside of a mountain won’t last.
Best you can do is create a simple structure that takes intelligence to create with the only purpose being to show that you once existed.
Giant letters on the face of the moon!

Rocks exist that are billions of years old, so clearly some things can survive for longer than a million years. And if we don’t restrict ourselves to the Earth, something in a high heliocentric orbit could last many billions or perhaps even trillions of years.
True but rocks change over time constantly.

See the sci tech link I posted
Silica is expected to survive for thousands of years in nearly any temperature, humidity, and chemical environment
Thousands of years is very different than 1 million years.
