[Verse 1]
In the streaming world of Kafka flows
Every topic needs a label that shows
What kind of data passes through the gate
Classification marks decide its fate
PII gets tagged as sensitive grade
Public info flows without parade
Schema registry holds the metadata crown
While governance rules keep chaos down
[Chorus]
Tag it, track it, time it right
Data governance shining bright
Lineage flowing through the streams
GDPR and HIPAA dreams
Classify, retain, and trace
Every message finds its place
Governance rules the Kafka way
Protecting data every day
[Verse 2]
Lineage tracking tells the story clear
Where your data came from, where it steers
Kafka metadata maps the journey long
From producer source to consumer throng
Connect transforms leave their fingerprint
Schema evolution shows each hint
Audit trails through every partition
Data provenance with precision
[Chorus]
Tag it, track it, time it right
Data governance shining bright
Lineage flowing through the streams
GDPR and HIPAA dreams
Classify, retain, and trace
Every message finds its place
Governance rules the Kafka way
Protecting data every day
[Bridge]
Seven years for HIPAA hold
Thirty days when GDPR's told
Right to be forgotten calls
Delete requests through Kafka walls
Retention configs set the time
Log compaction keeps in line
Tombstone markers clear the way
Regulatory compliance stays
[Verse 3]
Topic configs hold the retention key
Time-based cleanup automatically
Size-based limits guard the storage space
Compaction keeps the latest case
Headers carry classification tags
Security policies with feature flags
Kubernetes secrets lock it tight
Governance working day and night
[Final Chorus]
Tag it, track it, time it right
Data governance shining bright
Lineage flowing through the streams
GDPR and HIPAA dreams
Classify, retain, and trace
Every message finds its place
Governance rules the Kafka way
Strimzi keeps your data safe today
[Outro]
From classification to the final delete
Data governance makes compliance complete
In Kubernetes clusters running strong
Kafka governance all along
