Headless Content Management Systems (CMS) have taken the digital world by storm, providing developers and marketers with amazing flexibility and scalability options. But when it comes to GDPR compliance in a headless CMS, the extended complexities are troubling. This information is useful for any company concerned with GDPR or companies of intent that do business in Europe, as failure to comply with GDPR can lead to severe penalties and adverse consumer relationships.

In software testing or platform engineering, having realistic data is crucial. For years, teams have relied on Test Data Management (TDM) to copy entire production databases, scrub any sensitive information, and then spin up test environments from these sanitized data sets. While TDM gets the job done, it can be costly, time-consuming, and can quickly become outdated. The issue of outdated data becomes more pronounced as deployment velocity increases and back end dependencies become more diverse (think: microservices).
