Deletion is a form of cache invalidation if you think about it

Thank you. And this sort of problem occurs in large organisations with lots of different monoliths all caching each others data.

Records storing transactional facts, are NOT "caching each others data".

Maybe you're right, but, out of interest, what would call it when half a dozen systems store elements of each others data and then refresh that data on a daily basis?

If tied to an event: facts

If synced and overwritten between systems on daily basis: liability

If not the King, at least the Crown Prince of cache invalidation.
