@BuildReportDSL Won’t deleting an offboarded staff/user’s identifier affect the ability to answer “who did what ?” or in some cases like this keeping certain data is legal ?
@BuildReportDSL That’s a great point and I see how it removes most of the trade off.
I was also going to ask about your approach for cases where audit trails might require human accountability e.g (A company’s ERP).
While working on a personal project today, I was thinking about the trade-offs between hard deletes and soft deletes. What are the pros and cons, and how can you stay GDPR compliant while still needing data for audit trails or reporting?
For my project, I opted for hard deletes because audit trails and reporting are not required. I am curious to hear your thoughts. If a user requests that their data be deleted, should it always be deleted completely?
Instead, they keep the data encrypted and remove the key. This makes the wipe fast regardless of how much data is stored.
Some engineers suggested maintaining a separate table for deleted items instead of relying solely on an is_deleted flag.
I came across several interesting approaches. Some recommend deleting everything completely, which simplifies queries and reduces overhead. Others shared how a well-known company handles device wipes. They do not actually delete all files.
My brother and I want to help one lucky person relocate to Canada. Think you’re the one? Make a 2-minute video introducing yourself and why you deserve this chance. One person will be picked and sponsored.

@UbisoftSupport I just got an abandon penalty, the game crashed I tried reconnecting I couldn’t reconnect back. And then my team surrendered. How’s that my fault ? @UbisoftSupport
