Kafka, GDPR and Event Sourcing
Okay, this approach is really cool, but... just hear me out: what if... you don&#x27;t store personally identifiable data in the event store? What if you only store references&#x2F;ids that point to services which can resolve those ids to data, and that data needs not to be immutable. In the event of erasure request you shred&#x2F;anonymize that data only, without touching kafka. I mean it&#x27;s pretty obvious to me, to the point i feel like i&#x27;m missing some huge point and grossly misunderstanding the whole problem
