Definitely agree re bulk inserting, say every 1 minute or 1 hour or whatever.

I was paying around recently with Amazon's Kinesis for this, but if you don't want the vendor lock-in you could easily roll your own system that bundles up events and stores a bunch at once.

If you do

open database connection

do one insert

close database connection

That adds up fast.

At work, I've been very disappointed in the performance of their Amazon RDS. They had unexplained master/slave replication issues.

You also can put a memcached in front of the database.
