Question 1

How to integrate Databunker with a Node.js backend for user storage?

Accepted Answer

Use the provided npm packages like @databunker/store; initialize with your instance's URL and token, then call APIs to create and retrieve user records securely, as shown in the JavaScript example.

Question 2

Databunker vs HashiCorp Vault for storing PII data?

Accepted Answer

Databunker is tailored for PII/PHI with built-in GDPR compliance and tokenization, while Vault is more general-purpose. For privacy-focused apps, Databunker's specific features are advantageous, but Vault has a larger ecosystem.

Question 3

Is Databunker HIPAA compliant for healthcare applications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's designed for HIPAA compliance with encrypted PHI storage and audit trails, but you must self-host it in a secure environment and configure access controls properly to meet all requirements.

Question 4

Can Databunker handle session storage for web apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it offers session storage modules for Node.js, such as @databunker/session-store, which integrates with Express.js to securely manage user sessions without exposing sensitive data.

Question 5

What databases does Databunker support for backend storage?

Accepted Answer

It supports MySQL and PostgreSQL as underlying databases, but you need to set up and manage these separately, as Databunker itself provides the encryption and API layer on top.

Question 6

How does Databunker ensure data isn't leaked through logs or backups?

Accepted Answer

It encrypts all data at rest and uses tokenization, so logs and backups contain only tokens or hashes, but you must still secure the database backups and audit trails to prevent exposure.
