[Verse 1]
Topics wear their badges, classified and neat
Sensitive or public, every stream complete
Tagging flows like ribbons through the message queue
PII and financial, marked in crimson hue
Kafka knows its secrets, metadata reveals
Every byte's ancestry, lineage unseals
[Chorus]
Classify, tag, and trace the line
Governance rules by design
Retention ticks the compliance clock
GDPR, PIPEDA, HIPAA lock
Data flows but never hides
When governance is your guide
[Verse 2]
Thirty days for shopping carts, seven years for health
PIPEDA wants deletion, GDPR stealth
Right to be forgotten echoes through the logs
Tombstone markers cleansing what the audit clogs
Compaction sweeps the remnants, policies align
Legal frameworks dancing with the retention time
[Chorus]
Classify, tag, and trace the line
Governance rules by design
Retention ticks the compliance clock
GDPR, PIPEDA, HIPAA lock
Data flows but never hides
When governance is your guide
[Bridge]
Schema registry whispers what the fields contain
Lineage graphs map the data's migration chain
From producer birth to consumer's final breath
Kubernetes orchestrates compliance until death
Topic configurations paint the legal scene
Audit trails illuminate what the flow has been
[Chorus]
Classify, tag, and trace the line
Governance rules by design
Retention ticks the compliance clock
GDPR, PIPEDA, HIPAA lock
Data flows but never hides
When governance is your guide
[Outro]
Strimzi wraps the promise in containers tight
Data governance sailing through the legal night
Classification, lineage, retention's sacred three
Kafka streams compliant, flowing wild and free
