In that case, it’d probably be best to just handle deletions at the application layer (e.g., setting a “deleted_at” timestamp field with scheduled permanent deletions later).

And in terms of data compliance, it’s very important to make sure permanent deletions propagate through your backup systems within a reasonable amount of time - Google Cloud[1], for example, is ~180 days.
