A graph tracks the lineage of customer data, including when it was originally extracted from a customer computing system, and any transformation results indicating transformations that were performed on the customer data. The graph is traversed to identify nodes in the graph that have expired based upon data removal policies. The customer data represented by the expired nodes in the graph is deleted and the graph is modified to delete the expired nodes. The modified graph is then stored in persistent memory until data removal is next triggered.

Tracking data lineage and applying data removal to enforce data removal policies

An asynchronous engine identifies API calls that are to be made in order to fulfill a received service request. The asynchronous engine secures a separate computing thread for making each API call, and generates the API calls on the separate computing threads. Workflows performed in responding to the service call interact with the asynchronous engine to obtain results from the API calls.
