Very detailed talk by someone who really knows what they're talking about. Whilst the intro to GDPR was helpful I think there was possibly a bit too much of that - it was partially necessary to cover the various criteria that a solution has to meet, but could have been more succinct. There were a few points where it seemed like "oh this is how to do it" when there was a u-turn to say "oh but this actually won't work in practice" which was possibly true but felt like we were trying to understand something before knowing we couldn't do that.

I'd have loved extra time spent on the way to build it into a domain model because the best point of the talk was pointing out that GDPR should be as much a part of your domain as other business requirements, and not this tacked on aspect we consider after building a solution.

I think the talk was a bit messy. Some of the examples should be common knowledge, some of them are quit interesting.

Nice talk. Maybe you can shorten the GDPR a bit and start with the technical stuff earlier.

Even though I don't use event sourcing, I guessed the "tombstone" solution before you mentioned it.
But you surpriced me when you showed us to keep the tombstone event in place.
I'm very curious what extra data you can put in the tombstone event's payload, without breaking the regulations.

I think most of us Europeans have been affected by GDPR, but as this turned out to be an online (and therefore global) conference a GDPR introduction and re-cap was actually a good idea for those less familiar. I must admit I personally didn't know all the specifics at the top of my head anymore either.

Needless to say GDPR is a challenge and the talk was a very interesting look into some of the possibilities and caveats of GDPR compliance in event sourcing.

Great talk, looks like a lot of great things are heading our way!

Only suggestion I would have is to visually show on the slides which version of PHP each feature was introduced in / for.

Still a sad panda about generics not being in 8 :(, one day, hopefully!

Loved the talk, good tips and tricks. Some of which i knew (but don't always use), some of which were new. Code examples were clear & delivery great.
