Comment on Ask HN: How are you handling data retention across your stack?

Comments

I feel like this should be a service in itself, similar to Heroku or Supabase. Just tick which laws you want to adhere to, upload files to their buckets. Tick another box for audit logs and such and it'll ask you where you need your human in the loop and which buttons those humans need to press. So a bit like Carta or Deel in that sense.

I've had some big enterprise deals fall through because of something like this - military, insurance, fintech, etc.

I agree. I'm trying to sell to enterprise right now and this is a blocker. Basically, my product stores emails in S3, but metadata in Supabase, and caches in Redis. It's all fragmented and super difficult to keep track of. Plus Supabase isn't WORM compliant so it is hard to ensure data doesn't get deleted.
