which services used to implement log user events

Question

hi, in my app, I want to log user's behaviors, like buy something, complete a mission, ...etc.
I need to store that logs and later query to get some data like within period of 12/2/2023->12/3/2023, list all buy events.
How do I store and query like that?

Answer

Hello @nam,

This depends on the type of logs you are storing and querying.

For example, if you  are pushing to cloudwatch logs, you can use the AWS CloudWatch logs for querying:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/CWL_QuerySyntax-examples.html

You can also use Athena connector to Cloudwatch:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/connectors-cloudwatch.html

If you are storing  logs in S3, you can use Athena to query logs directly from S3.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/querying-apache-logs.html

The important factor is in what format are you producing  logs, how much logs would be produced and how you are querying the logs.
