Needs

Privacy & data protection (GDPR/HIPAA). Review notes and compensation details are extremely personal, and customers push hard on how we store and delete them.

Today: a published trust center with a data processing agreement and subject request process · Urgency: later

APM & distributed tracing. Our graph-style API fans out into many database calls, and slow review-cycle launches are hard to trace end to end.

Today: an infrastructure platform team standardizing logs, metrics, traces and alerting targets · Urgency: now

Who decides
