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

2•preston-kwei•3h ago
For people building SaaS with data across multiple systems (S3, DBs, caches, etc), do you actually have a clean way to manage retention/deletion across all of them? (Especially when each customer has custom policies)

Or is it more a mix of lifecycle rules, cron jobs, and manual cleanup?

How are you doing this today? I feel like this is a blocker in enterprise deals when selling to regulated industries.

Mostly cron jobs and lifecycle rules in my experience, it’s rarely clean. S3 lifecycle policies handle the easy stuff but anything touching multiple systems usually ends up as a scheduled job that someone wrote once and nobody fully trusts.
