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!
