Ask HN: Where to Store My Events?

[null123]

Got many services - constantly changing, growing, etc. I need to track various events produced by each service - in the end creating a processing lineage (was sent to MQ, was merged with another event, etc.)

The problem is the retention period should be months. The ever changing service landscape kinda prevents using a fixed scheme since the events 'relations' evolve with the landscape.

Ideas?

If what you are looking for is a DB-like application, I recommend: https://eventstore.com/

Not sure if you can set retention periods, but it is definitely worth to take a look into that, and definitely a good starting point.

Yea, I bumped into that one too. I just browsed through the docs quickly - it seemed like a pure streaming solution. I doubt the workload fits there.

Event Store is probably not what you want.

It’s a database focused in allowing Event Sourcing application architecture and not analytics or log/monitoring.

Just a heads up, this post started as dead, probably because of the new account. I vouched and upvoted.
