Audit Service - Dynamodb
Audit Service
Description
Decided that I wanted an audit db and service to help keep track of user behaviors. Since I already have some in Redis, and some in Postgres I thought this might be a useful exercise. The main thing id like to accomplish with this code is going to be a way to track events and break them down by week/month/year per user and per company.
Im having some self debate about creating tables for the tallies or if I should just be creating them on the fly using a query. I like the idea of the tally because it would be a place to easily look that information up. Although if some error occurs it could possibly be inaccurate.
Schema
Deciding on a good schema, im thinking something like
audit table
- userId
- companyName (i dislike using company id because then you have to look it up)
- timestamp
- event
user tally table
- userId
- companyName
- Timespan - YYmmdd
- event
- count
company tally table
- companyName
- Timespan - YYmm
- event
- count
On second thought…
Maybe just using rds would be a better fit. The amount of scanning would be pretty awful. Ok, abandoning idea!
