The Ethics of Data Persistence
Data is forever. When managing sensitive insurance or financial records (as I did at Reliable Life), the architecture must be designed with “privacy by default.”
Security as a Constraint
We don’t just secure data because of regulations; we do it because it’s a prerequisite for trust. This involves encryption at rest, secure key management (KMS), and rigorous access control audits.
The Right to be Forgotten
Building a system that can accurately delete data in a complex Snowflake or Postgres schema is much harder than building one that just stores it. Persistence isn’t just about saving; it’s about responsible management.
